I didn't catch, how it works...

[vyrud]

It pumps the water from river at night to the special lake above (this lake isn't seen in photos, it is behind the concrete wall) while during day it releases water from upper lake and works as ordinary hydro plant

I've found some information about such stations in wikipedia, now I understand for what are they.

so it works at a loss by now,doesnt it?

[vyrud]

I don't know exactly but it seems that even now they get some profit: it is possible to buy cheap energy at night and to sell it much more expensive at day

[amberss]

aha,now i got how appears the profit)
