Customer ServiceA partnership between the city of San Diego and the San Diego County Water Authority wants to build a pumped hydro facility near the dam.

Pumped hydro is a flexible technology that can respond to various electricity demands. It consists of reservoir at higher elevation (upper storage) and a reservoir at lower elevation (lower storage). When the demand for electricity is low, or when renewable sources are abundant, water is pumped to the upper storage. It is then stored.
The group worries that developing the pumped hydro project will damage the state’s San Vicente Highlands Preserve and the county’s 3,000-acre Boulder Oaks Preserve and says other energy storage technologies are less expensive.
The city of San Diego and the San Diego County Water Authority have partnered on the San Vicente Energy Storage Facility Project, which looks to provide 500 megawatts and an estimated 4,000 megawatt-hours of long-duration stored energy to California’s electric grid. That’s enough to power about 135,000 households.
To mitigate construction impacts from the Emergency & Carryover Storage Project, the Water Authority funded the acquisition of nearly 600 acres of upland habitat areas and created or enhanced nearly 40 acres of wetland habitat in San Diego County. Construction of the facilities began in 2005, and operations began in 2012.
