Blenheim–Gilboa Hydroelectric Power Station

The Blenheim–Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectricity plant in the Catskill Mountains of New York State.

The plant is part of the New York Power Authority, and can generate over 1,100 megawatts (1,500,000 hp) of electricity.

[1] The reservoir at the foot of the mountain (42°28′00″N 74°27′30″W / 42.46667°N 74.45833°W / 42.46667; -74.45833) was created by impounding the Schoharie Creek downstream from the village of Gilboa, New York.

[2] The Blenheim-Gilboa Visitor Center is housed in a restored 18th century dairy barn, and features exhibits and interactive displays that demonstrate the science of energy and electricity, including how power is made and used.

The Visitor Center, Lansing Manor House and the Power Project are located near Mine Kill State Park.
