The power station at Electric Mountain in Llanberis works by storing excess electricity generated during periods of low demand by using it to pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir. When demand for electricity is high, the stored water is released back down, driving turbines to generate electricity. This process is known as pumped storage hydroelectricity.

What is a hydro - electric power station?
A hydro-electric power station is a facility that generates electricity by using the energy of flowing water to turn turbines, which then produce electrical power. This renewable energy source harnesses the gravitational force of water to create electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydro-electric power stations can vary in size from small-scale installations to large dams and reservoirs.
