Mineville Pumped Storage Project

FERC PROJECT NO. 12635-002

Located in the Town of Moriah, once the heart of New York’s iron ore mining industry, the 300 MW electricity storage facility will utilize existing abandoned iron ore mine infrastructure. The design features two underground reservoirs which operate in a closed-loop (there is no interaction with other bodies of water), and will be the first of its kind subterranean long-duration hydroelectric energy storage facility. Project performance capability and reliability is enhanced through the use of commonly available, low-cost modular, variable speed pump-generator power trains. Each of the twenty parallel trains will have generation capacity of 15 MW, for a total of 300 MW, which can be used to dispatch over short of long-term periods, as required by grid operating conditions.

Capacity: 300 MW
Location: Moriah, NY
