Default Inside Electric Mountain: Britain's biggest rechargeable battery


"This is because the two reservoirs are linked by one of Britains biggest
post-war industrial projects: the Dinorwig pumped storage power station,
hidden within this mountain. It is effectively a monster battery: power is
stored by pumping water from Llyn Peris to Marchlyn Mawr at night, then
generated by letting it flow back down at times of peak demand"
