Underground Haas power station powers Kings River project
Pacific Gas & Electric plans a 128000 kilowatt Haas powerhouse carved inside a California mountain on the Kings River North Fork. The 105 by 170 by 50 foot chamber will house turbines fed by 261 mph water at 72 tons per square foot pressure. The system will rely on seven miles of tunnels and a 200 foot per foot horseshoe tunnel to deliver water from Courtright Reservoir to three plants with a total 296000 kilowatts. Completion target is December 1958 with dams and two plants already outlined amid high Sierra snowbound terrain.
