Some kind of water power display. probably sponsored by BC Hydro to raise enthusiasm for the the big project up north. Not really that effective as it did not work as it should!

The Weatherford Wind Energy Center is a 147-megawatt facility. It is owned and operated by FPL Energy. PSO purchases all of the output under a long-term contract.
The spillway on the Ruataniwha Dam.
The dam forms Lake Ruataniwha and is located in the Mackenzie Basin in New Zealand's South Island.
An artificial lake, it was formed as part of the Waitaki hydroelectric project. It lies on the traditional boundary of the Canterbury and Otago provinces with the town of Twizel two kilometres to the north.
It is named after Ruataniwha Station, a large sheep station in the area, part of which was purchased by the NZ Electricity Department as the site for the township of Twizel.
The lake is approximately 4.5 km in length and covers 3.4 square km.
It was formed by the New Zealand Ministry of Works as part of the Upper Waitaki Power Project between 1977[2] and 1981 in a gorge created by the Ohau River. The gorge was blocked by the building of the Ruataniwha Dam whose crest carries State Highway 8 between Twizel and Omarama.
Lake Ruataniwha is fed by the output from the Ohau A power station and also by an overflow discharge from Lake Ohau down the normally dry bed of the Ohau River.
The lake functions as a surge reservoir for the power scheme. If, during excessive inflows into Lake Ohau which Ohau A is unable to pass or, when there has been a failure of the Ohau canal, Lake Ohau can overflow a weir into the normally dry bed of the upper reaches of the Ohau River and thus into Lake Ruataniwha. Also, if water cannot pass down the canal to Ohau B then the excess inflows into the lake can be diverted by the spillway down the bed of the lower reaches of the Ohau River to Lake Benmore. While limited the storage capacity of the lake also ensures that the flows through Ohau A do not have to be exactly matched to those through Ohau B and Ohau C.
Ruataniwha discharges through a natural gap in the dam into a canal which feeds the Ohau B power station.
Before construction of the dam could start the Ohau River was diverted by cutting a channel through a low, rocky extension of the Benmore Range and building three diversion gates there which consumed 100,000 cubic metres of concrete. The Ohau River was diverted in August 1980 so that water passed through Ohau A and then back down the river bed. Later that year, downstream of Ohau A, the river was again diverted, this time away from its natural channel and through the completed gates. An earth dam with gravel shoulders was then built on its upstream and downstream sides. The main dam, which blocks the original river channel, is 240 metres long while an adjoining wing dam is 480 metres. When the dam was completed the diversion gates were closed which, beginning in March 1982,[5] impounded the water behind the dam up to and over a temporary weir which had been built downstream of Ohau A. In 1984 the lake was temporarily lowered by 3 metres while this weir was removed to improve the performance of the Ohau A power station. The diversion gates now function as spillway gates to allow excess water to pass safely through the dam.

While driving south on Interstate 82 near Kennewick, Washington, I happened to see an interesting ridge in the distance to the southeast. It was covered with wind turbines and communication towers. My curiosity was aroused, so I got off the freeway at the next exit and checked my Benchmark atlas of Washington to determine how to reach the interesting site. The gravel roads were well-graded but dusty. Walking among the towers and taking pictures was fun. This spur-of-the-moment detour was quite out of character for me. The hill is called "Jump Off Joe."
Here I am driving south on Bateman Road, about to merge with Owens Road.

Grand Coulee Dam. Water is pumped through the penstocks (12 x 3.7m dia) on the left to Banks Lake (see separate slide 169) which is 85m (280 ft) higher. However, when the water has to be returned to Franklin D Roosevelt Lake behind the dam wall, six of the pumps become generators.
These 15 wind turbines(called Vestas NM82) provide a total of almost 25 MW of power and is part of the Luzon Island grid in the Philippines. Height of these windmills is 70 meters. Each of the three blades has a length of 41 meters. The wind swept area of the rotors is approximately 5,280 square meters.
Location of this turbines is at Pebble Beach, in the shores of Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte province. This turbines is the first power plant of its kind in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

I took this picture while traveling from Kanyakumari to Thirunelveli in Tamil Nadu. The dark monsoon clouds were so strong and these giant windmills provided a nice compositional opportunity.

Power consumption peaks seasonally during the summer because of increased demand from air conditioning. While natural gas is a relatively more expensive fuel to burn for electricity than coal or nuclear power, it requires far less capital investment to build a small natural gas fired power plant than it does a coal or nuclear one. Coal and nuclear power plants consequently are large and expensive to build but cheap to run, so they are always in use and are referred to as "baseload" power. Natural gas plants tend to be cheap to build but expensive to run, so when demand is high and wholesale power prices rise, small gas fired plants become "in the money" and can start generating power literally in minutes. I suspect that is what is going on in this picture. You can see the heat rising off of the power barges from the blurry buildings in the background.
