Seems puny compared to the twin plants on the Niagara in the USA/Canada (both are pumped-storage hydro): 2,675 MW: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Moses_N

- poooogles 7y agoYou're comparing apples to oranges. They're not pumped storage stations.
- 24gttghh 7y agoTechnically, they're actually both: "Water enters the forebay via tunnels from the Niagara River controlled via the International Control Dam upstream of the natural falls. Water in the forebay is then either pumped up into the upper reservoir or immediately sent down over the escarpment downstream of the natural falls into the Robert Moses Power Station turbines." So, it's like more like Malus pumila (Domestic Apple) to Malus sieversii (Wild Apple).
