Wendefurth Power Station (German: Pumpspeicherwerk Wendefurth) is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station on the reservoir of the Wendefurth Dam near Wendefurth in the Harz mountains of central Germany.
The power station has an upper reservoir on the mountain top which stores the water.[1] The two penstocks (Fallrohre) have a diameter of 3.4 metres (11 ft). The installed turbine performance is 80 megawatts (110,000 hp). The pumped-storage facility was built in 1967.
