Can San Diego develop a pumped storage energy project?
When energy demand is high, the stored water is released downhill to turn turbines that produce energy. The Water Authority and City of San Diego are evaluating the feasibility of developing a pumped storage energy project at the City of San Diego’s San Vicente Reservoir near Lakeside.
How do energy storage facilities work?
These facilities store excess renewable energy from solar and wind by pumping water in a closed-loop system to an upper reservoir when energy is abundant. When energy demand is high, the stored water is released downhill to turn turbines that produce energy.
