Would there be enough elevation change to generate significant hydropower, though?

Would there be enough elevation change to generate significant hydropower, though?
- slashdev 3y agoIt currently generates hydropower, so I suppose so.
- SoftTalker 3y agoAnother comment says ships are raised 85 feet during the transit, that sounds like enough to me if that is correct (not a hydropower engineer)
- nocoiner 3y agoApparently it’s 6 MW, which ain’t nothing, but isn’t a tremendous amount either. I don’t know what a typical battery storage facility can put out instantaneously - I would think more, perhaps substantially more. Though the lake certainly would have the capacity advantage!
