  • Water held high up in the hills behind a dam.
  • Pipework drains the lake to a lower level.
  • The force of the water in the pipe is used to spin a turbine.
  • The turbine is connected to an alternator and produces electricity.
  • When it rains the lake is topped up with water.
  • During low demand periods, water can be pumped back up to the lake as well, using electricty from other sources.
