Wendefurth Power Station
Wendefurth Power Station (German: Pumpspeicherwerk Wendefurth) is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station on the reservoir of the Wendefurth Dam near Wendefurth in the Harz mountains of central Germany.
The power station has an upper reservoir on the mountain top which stores the water. The two penstocks have a diameter of 3.4 metres (11 ft). The two installed Francis pump turbines can deliver 80 MW. As of 2012 the plant has since its commissioning in 1967 produced 4,105 GWh, corresponding to an average annual production of 91 GWh.
