It is one of just four pumped storage hydro power stations in the UK. Cruachan''s design enables it to store excess renewable power from sources such as wind farms. When the wind isn''t blowing, the plant then uses this stored power to plug gaps in supplies – making it a critical component of the UK''s national energy security. Drax believes Cruachan can play an even bigger role in the

Pumped storage plants act like giant water batteries by using reversible turbines to pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir which stores excess power from sources such as wind farms when supply outstrips demand. These same turbines are then reversed to bring the stored water back through the plant to generate power when the country
Tap water in Cape Verde is sometimes transported by trucks and tanks to certain locations in emergency situations or during periods of drought or other water shortages; this is, however, not a common practice for routine water supply today! In more remote and rural areas of Cape Verde, the distribution network may be less developed, and access to tap water

Given South Africa''s scarce water resources, a conventional hydro power station was not considered feasible. The solution, it was decided, lay in the construction of a pumped storage scheme, in which water stored in an upper reservoir is released to drive reversible pump/turbines during periods of high electricity demand before being pumped back
Cape Verde''s northeasterly trade winds are considered excellent for wind power production. A wind farm typically requires wind speeds of at least 6.4 m/s at 50m above ground. Cape Verde''s
