When too much power is produced, a pumped storage hydropower plant sends water from the lower to the upper reservoir, effectively charging the battery. Conversely, when power consumption jumps and, for instance, there is not enough wind and sun, the upper reservoir is emptied and the water passes through turbines, producing electricity. As a
In total, the projects would add 500 megawatts (MW) of new solar power and 180 MW of wind power to the grid. That is enough energy to power about 250,000 homes. The projects also include 100 MW of new battery storage, which would be charged during the day and provide customers with "sunshine after sunset."
