Pumped storage hydroelectric project. Reservoir and electrical power transmission cables at a pumped storage hydroelectric project in the Rocky Mountains. During periods of lower electricity demand,water is pumped to a second reservoir higher in the mountains. When demand increases,the water returns to this lower reservoir through a turbine which generates electricity. This is Xcel Energy's Cabin Creek pumped storage hydroelectricity project.
