San Diego Considers Major Hydroelectric Project at San Vicente Reservoir
From the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA):
“Southern California’s energy supply is expected to be tight for at least the next few years due to the permanent closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, so alternative energy sources could be at a premium in the region.
“San Diego already is looking ahead at a possible solution. The city and the San Diego County Water Authority are funding a feasibility study for a major pumped storage facility at San Vicente Reservoir which could generate up to 500 megawatts, enough power for approximately 325,000 homes.”
