The location of Europe's largest
pumped-storage hydroelectric scheme,
completed 1984, in Gwynedd, North Wales. Six
turbogenerators are involved, with a maximum
output of some 1,880 megawatts. The working
head of water for the station is 530 m/1,740
ft. The main machine hall is twice as long as
a football field and as high as a 16-storey
building.
