Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme consists of two 200MW units located 2km upstream of the Kogelberg Dam wall on the Palmiet River. It is regarded as a forerunner in environmental engineering. The whole Palmiet site is a conservation area and in December 1998 the area was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO - the first in South Africa.
