HC Deb 18 March 1987 vol 112 c523W
Dr. Michael Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will indicate the generating capacity of the Dinorwig pump storage station, and make a statement on the feasibility of building further such facilities in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Goodlad

The declared net capability of the Dinorwig pumped-storage station is 1728 mw sent out. The Central Electricity Generating Board advises me that its system requirements for the foreseeable future do not require the addition of further pumped storage capacity.
