How a reservoir at the KWEP project in Hawaii would look after restoration as part of the project''s scope. Image: KIUC. Two pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects at very different stages of development in Hawaii and Wyoming would enable hundreds of additional megawatt-hours of clean energy use in each region.
The project will see water flow from an upper lake to a lower lake, generating 75 MW of power. In the evening when power demand is lower, a pipeline will transport the water to the upper lake, 500m above the lower lake in a continuous loop. The development could be expanded in the future to accommodate 400 MW of power generation. Emissions
The proposed Brazeau Hydro Pumped Storage project works like a rechargeable battery, storing water for renewable generation when demand is low. Just like recharging a battery, the water is pumped up from the lower reservoir and stored in the upper reservoir. When demand is high, the system is reversed and gravity is used to generate renewable
