Hi Peter.
Â
The water would be pumped upward during the day and released downward at peak demand.
Â
If it goes ahead they want to run a trans line to the grid. As for the climate - that area has a wet and a dry season.
Â
Who owns it - no idea. But it won't be the taxpayers. The thing is, it adds to the overall available power.
Â
And as for setting the price, well presumably their price would be subject to the same conditions as a new coal fired station would be.... so it won't be cheap. But then again, neither will any other new power plant.
