Castaic Power Plant, also known as the Castaic Pumped-Storage Plant, is a seven unit pumped-storage hydroelectric plant, operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which provides peak load power from the falling water on the West Branch of the California State Aqueduct. It is a cooperative venture between the LADWP and the Department of Water Resources of the S. LocationThe Castaic Power Plant is located about 22 miles (35 km) from the northern city limits at the upper end of the West arm of . .
California State Aqueduct water en route to Southern California is pumped up through the (by the ) to the Tehachapi Afterbay. There the aqueduct divides into East and West Branc. .
The State of California had planned to build a 17 feet (5.2 m) in diameter. Under the cooperative development, this tunnel was enlarged to 30 feet (9.1 m) in diameter. The 7.2-mile (11.6 km) long tunnel, including the.
