During periods of high electrical demand, the stored water is released through turbines.
Instead of shifting electrical demand to the night, this technique shifts generation capacity to the day.
It supplies about 3% of the electrical demand in Lithuania.
More than 10 percent of our electrical demand is met by wind energy.
Home appliances can be programmed to run at specific times when electrical demand is lowest.
In use, the plant consumed a peak electrical demand of 2,100 megawatts.
At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the higher reservoir.
As the country's electrical demand continues to rise, adding capacity is of keen interest.
Power will be higher, both electrical demand and performance.
That is, both turbines operated during hours of high electrical demand and the reservoir was drawn down.
