Prospect. Plant to power 1500 homes

A new hydro-electric plant at Prospect which will generate enough power for 1500 homes. The plant will generate about five per cent of Sydney Water’s total energy needs every year and will power Sydney’s largest water pumping station at Prospect. The plant converts potential energy from water flows from Warragamba Dam - which range from 5000 to 12,000 litres per second - into electricity.
