Commissioned in 1954, this 95mw plant has 3 turbines. [gem]
Two of the units generate power and the third unit is 8.5mw pumped storage to Carter Lake. It is part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project that diverts water from the West Slope to the Colorado plains. It is one of over 100 structures that stretch over 250 miles. [power-technology]
I have not been able to determine the source of the water for the 2 main turbines.
