Virginia Renewables - Hydroelectricity

"Hydropower" (or the energy exerted by water, as it moves in response to the force of gravity) is one of the oldest sources of energy harnessed by humans. The earliest hydro facilities (called "mills") supplied mechanical energy. Early mills ground grain, powered textile mills, and supported other early industrial processes. Today, the vast majority of the world's hydro power facilities are used to generate electricity (see http://www1.eere.energy.gov/windandhydro/.

Hydroelectric generating facilities are essential the electrical generation, both within Virginia and nationally. In 1999, hydroelectric plants generated more than 8 percent of our nation's electrical energy. In Virginia, more than 16 percent of the state's combined utility and non-utility generating capacity is hydroelectric. Virginia hydroelectric plants include both conventional hydroelectric generators and pumped-storage generators.

Conventional Hydroelectric Generating Facilities

Conventional hydroelectric generating units are located on rivers primarily in the southern part of the state. These units are constructed by placing a dam across a river, generally in a location where its channel is constrained by mountains or hills. Water flowing across the dam is sent through channels, to flow through electricity-generating turbines. In some cases, the lakes created by the damming are sufficiently large to allow use for recreation, home development, and flood control. Operators of hydroelectric facilities may control the flow of water through the facility (and hence the rate of electricity generation) so as to increase generation during times of day when electrical demand is highest.

Pumped-Storage Hydro Facilities

The state is also home to two very large pumped-storage hydro facilities, both in western Virginia: Dominion Generation Company's Bath County pumped storage unit, and American Electric Power's Smith Mountain Lake facility. Both of these units generate energy using conventional hydroelectric turbines. However, they differ from conventional hydroelectric plants in that they include basins to hold water both above and below the turbines. During times of peak demand, water from the upper basin is moved through the turbine into the lower basin, generating electricity to satisfy customer demand. During times of low demand for electric power, excess electricity from the firms' "base loaded" generating units (generally, coal-fired and nuclear units that operate most efficiently when run continuously, regardless of customer demand) is used to pump water from the lower to the upper basin. This stored water can be available to generate electricity during those portions of the day or week when customer demand increases.

  • All locations are approximate. Many non-utility generating plants burn multiple fuels; non-utility plant locations are represented only by primary fuel. Only the largest plants within each category are labeled.

Note:

  • Tables are a result of VCCER analysis. Totals may differ slightly from those listed elsewhere in this web site due to different data parameters and methods of obtaining information.
  • Negative figures indicate net negative generation of electricity. This is because certain hydro electricity units operate as pumped storage units.
  • Virginia Power, Clover Plant established 09/93.
  • Virginia Power, Bell Meade Plant established 08/97.
  • Virginia Power, Remington Plant established 07/00.
  • City of Manassas, Dominion/Lo-Mar Gen Plant established 12/00.
  • City of Manassas, Gateway Plant established 12/00.
  • The 2006 data includes sampled and estimated data. During the year, the EIA-906 and EIA-920 surveys collect monthly data from approximately 1878 generating plants. From this sample of generally larger power plants, generation, fuel burn and stocks are estimated for approximately 3242 out-of-sample, generally smaller plants. After the end of the calendar year, data are collected from the out-of-sample plants. A complete 2006 data file including all accepted plant data will be published in late summer or early fall of 2007 by EIA.
