Dinorwig

Location of Europe's largest pumped-storage hydroelectric scheme, completed in 1984, in Gwynedd, North Wales. It is used as a back-up to meet heavy demands for electricity. Six turbogenerators are installed, with a maximum output of some 1,880 megawatts. The working head of water for the station is 530 m/1,740 ft.

The main machine hall is twice as long as a football field and as high as a 16-storey building.
