At the Smith Mountain Lake and Dam, an AEP facility that releases water into a lower lake (Leesville) and then pumps it back to the upper lake to generate more power.

Dams are amazing. My number 1 client in the 90’s was the Tennessee Valley Authority. I produced a photo archive of every one of TVA’s power producing facilities and got to access every corner of the system inside out. It was a great experience.At the Smith Mountain Lake and Dam, an AEP facility that releases water into a lower lake (Leesville) and then pumps it back to the upper lake to generate more power.
