Kangaroo Valley Hydroelectric Pumping Station
- Kangaroo Valley Hydroelectric Pumping Station
Kangaroo Valley Hydroelectric Pumping Station is a hydroelectric power station in the Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales, Australia. Kangaroo Valley has two 80 MW pump/turbine units, for a total electricity generating capacity of 160 MW.
The power station was completed in 1977 as a joint project between the Electricity Commission of NSW and the NSW Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board. Management has subsequently been passed from those bodies to Eraring Energy and the Sydney Catchment Authority. It can operate as either a pump or a generator. During off peak periods, it utilises excess electricity from the grid to pump water back up to the reservoir as pumped storage.
