Kiev Pumped Storage Power Plant
The Kiev Pumped-Storage Power Plant is a pumped-storage power station on the west bank of the Kiev Reservoir in Vyshhorod, Ukraine. The Kiev Reservoir serves as the lower reservoir and the upper reservoir is located above the lower. Water sent from the upper reservoir generates electricity with three conventional hydroelectric generators and three reversible pump-generators. During periods of low demand, such as night time, the pump-generators push water from the lower reservoir to the upper for use during peak hours. The first generator was commissioned in 1970, the last in 1972.
