Description

The Seminoe Pumped Storage Project is a proposed 970-megawatt pumped storage facility at Seminoe Reservoir designed to provide stability to the electric grid. The project involves building a new upper reservoir on 120 acres of U.S. Bureau of Reclamation land, constructing tunnels and a power station in the mountain, intake structures on reservoir shorelines, and a 29-mile transmission line to a PacifiCorp substation near Medicine Bow. The project aims to pump water between upper and lower reservoirs to generate electricity during high-demand times and store energy during low usage times. It also includes mitigation measures to protect local wildlife and fisheries.
