3 FAQs about San Diego Wind and Solar Storage

Can San Diego develop a pumped storage energy project?

When energy demand is high, the stored water is released downhill to turn turbines that produce energy. The Water Authority and City of San Diego are evaluating the feasibility of developing a pumped storage energy project at the City of San Diego's San Vicente Reservoir near Lakeside.

How much energy would a San Diego water reservoir store?

It would store 4,000 megawatt-hours per day of energy (500 megawatts of capacity for eight hours), enough energy for about 135,000 households. The San Diego County Water Authority, which owns approximately two-thirds of the reservoir's water storage capacity, is partnering with the City on this potential project.

Does San Diego have a water reservoir?

The San Diego County Water Authority, which owns approximately two-thirds of the reservoir's water storage capacity, is partnering with the City on this potential project. The State of California invested $18 million to support initial project design, environmental reviews, and the federal licensing process.
