Summary
Several California
irrigation districts achieved savings on electrical energy
charges by implementing various types of pumped storage
systems. Pumped storage uses some type of reservoir to
store pumped water at a higher elevation than the original
water supply. During times of peak statewide electricity
demand, pumping is reduced while water is withdrawn from
the reservoir which acts as a buffer.
