The Lewis Ridge Pumped Storage Project will use a closed-loop system, moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. During low demand, water is pumped to the upper reservoir, and when electricity is needed, it is released to generate power by turning turbines. This renewable energy system can store up to eight hours of electricity, providing on-demand power and supporting grid reliability. Courtesy: Rye Development
