Continuing the legacy of maximizing the use of water resources to generate hydroelectric power, TID is exploring a pumped storage project to generate electricity during peak demand. The project consists of building a small reservoir adjacent to the existing Don Pedro Reservoir. Water will be pumped into the reservoir when demand for energy is low and the price for electricity is less expensive. The water will then be released back into Don Pedro Reservoir to generate power when the demand and price for electricity is high. Although the addition of renewable resources is vital to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, maintaining electric system reliability remains a core focus for TID. The nature of the pumped storage project will increase the reliability of the electric grid with the ability to quickly replace solar and wind generated electricity that could vary significantly with weather conditions.
