The Water Authority and City of San Diego continue to evaluate a pumped storage hydro facility to be located at San Diego's San Vicente Reservoir. The energy benefit is approximately 500 megawatts for an eight-hour period. The feasibility study was initiated in 2021, and if approved the federal and state regulatory and licensing review period would be 2023 to 2026 with construction to begin in 2027.
