KIDSTON SITE LOCATION
Georgetown
Typical Pumped Storage Plant Arrangement
§ Pumped storage requires two reservoirs in close proximity of each other
§ During peak power demand, water is released from upper reservoir to lower reservoir to generate electricity
§ During off-‐peak hours, power is drawn from the grid to pump water back up to the upper reservoir
Pumped Hydro makes a return by:
§ Selling electricity by generaIng during high priced peak periods
§ Buying electricity by pumping during low priced off-‐peak periods
