NIEDZICA  -  Hydro-Electric Power Plant

 

Niedzica is a pumping plant and reservoir - i.e. the power plant which releases electric energy to the grid in the highest demand hours. The pumping capacity is used in night hours when energy is cheap and abundant. Water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper one - to be used next day in propelling the turbines. Such power plants have a very short start-up time. In our case it is 3 -4 minutes.
