Description
Description | EDF plans to build a pumped hydro power station near Dungowan Dam involving the construction of an upper and a lower reservoir. Water will be pumped between these reservoirs to generate and store electricity, with water released during peak energy periods to generate power. EDF has purchased land for the lower reservoir and is conducting studies for the upper reservoir location. The project requires sourcing water from the Dungowan Valley, potentially from the existing pipeline from Dungowan Dam to Tamworth. |
