Power intake tower
Completed in 1974 Turlough Hill is Ireland’s only pumped storage station. It generates up to 292MW during peak demand periods by releasing water from its upper reservoir and allowing it to flow through its four turbines into a lower reservoir. During periods of lower demand the water is pumped back to the upper reservoir ready to be used again.
