Vector is this month marking 40 years of operation by its gas treatment plant at Kapuni, south Taranaki.
Vector chief executive Simon Mackenzie said the plant, which became operational in 1970 under the management of the Natural Gas Corporation, played a pivotal role in launching a new era for the energy industry.
The Kapuni plant had been the final vital component in a supply chain of a new efficient and low cost source of energy, Mr Mackenzie said.
It was still important for processing natural gas for North Island gas-fuelled power stations and thousands of industrial, commercial and domestic gas customers.
