Quick Facts Country, Location ...

Like most pumped-storage facilities, the power station uses two reservoirs, releasing and pumping as the demand rises and falls. The upper reservoir is contained by the Yashio Dam, a rock-fill dam. The lower reservoir is contained by the Sabigawa Dam, a concrete gravity dam.[1][3]

The power station employs three 300 MW pumping/generation units. The first 2 units started operation on 24 June 1994 and the third unit was started on 16 June 1995.[4]
