Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage Project Deep Underground
Northeast Utilities moves toward what may become the nation’s largest hydro pumped storage plant at Northfield Mountain Massachusetts. Four 250 000 kilowatt pumps will run in an underground cavern 700 feet below ground, drawing water from the Connecticut River to a 300 acre reservoir and releasing it to generate up to one million kilowatts. Recreation areas and a new road accompany the project while a town veto halted one site.
