Cause of fire at Thermalito pumped-storage facility under investigation

摘要

Emergency response crews contained a fire in November at the 114-MW Ronald B. Robie Thermalito pumped-storage facility, but officials from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) are still trying to determine its cause, an investigation that may take months to complete. The Thermalito plant, located downstream of Oroville Dam on the Feather River, was not damaged as badly as investigators originally feared, although the project won't be able to produce energy until repairs can be completed.
