LUDINGTON PUMPED STORAGE FACILITY
An engineering marvel, the LPSF has a capacity of 1,875 megawatts and is located along Lake Michigan, four miles south of Ludington. The generation cycle pumps water from Lake Michigan to an upper reservoir through six pump-turbines, strategically pumping during times of low electric demand. When demand is high, water is released from the upper reservoir through the turbines for power generation. The energy storage is used when intermittent resources are low, improving reliability and supporting the grid. Get pumped to see one of the world’s biggest electric batteries in action!
Estimated distance from Marriott: 1.5 hr; total trip approx. 1PM-5PM
