Western Sydney Pumped Hydro is a proposed 1,000 megawatt renewable energy generation and storage project that would supply 500,000 homes and businesses with on-demand power at peak use times, for up to 8 continuous hours.
The project site is 24km away from Warragamba Dam and the treatment of Sydney’s drinking water. The operation of Western Sydney Pumped Hydro will produce no change to water levels in Lake Burragorang and will not cause any flooding of the shoreline or surrounding natural environment.
