	Turlough Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Turlough Hill has four of six generator s fitted and can generate 292 megawatt.
		In this case, the reservoir is at the top of a hill, which is released when required to produce electricity and filled when an overcapacity of electricity is available.
		This is quite fast especially when compared with conventional sources such as coal, gas and oil which can take hours if not days because of the requirement to heat all machinery to the steam temperature.

		The Turlough Hill Scheme is the only one of its kind in Ireland.
		A pumped storage scheme like Turlough Hill enables the ESB to make the most economic and flexible use of its system.
		Greater economy of operation is achieved because generating capacity from other stations can be used at periods of low demand to pump water from the lower lake to the upper reservoir where it is ready for use when demand increases.

		The ESB started work on the Turlough Hill pumped storage hydro-electric station in 1968 and completed it six years later.
		This project involved the construction of a huge cavern in the heart of the mountain, in which the generation plant and controls are housed.
		A pumped storage system allows for the use of excess electricity capacity during non-peak hours to pump water from the lower to the upper Lake at Turlough Hill and then the release of the water in the reverse direction to create electricity in times of maximum demand.

		Turlough Hill (O.S. There is a high ridge between Oughtmama and the Gortaclare valley, lying within the edge of the former townland.
		The view was noble, and with the strong light and shade and the clear air, gave one an exceptional sense of its extent.
		A featureless gap is at the north-east turn of the wall, which is as abrupt as that to the south-west, and nothing save a trace of an oval chamber (d on plan, above) is found in the reach of nearly 160 feet back to the gully.

		Of course, if you intend to climb to the summit of Tonelagee (817m), it will not be necessary for you to worry about exactly where the 600m contour lies, but be aware that such a climb will add an extra 45 minutes at least to the length of your walk.
		From here, it is a fairly undemanding walk up the tarmac road to the ramparts of Turlough Hill, a distance of about 2.9 kms.
		On a clear day, the V-shape of the valley is quite obvious from this point, but even in misty conditions, it soon becomes clear from the rising ground on each side of you that you are in a valley, even if you haven't found the source of the tributary.

		Yet the careful eye of the naturalist reveals the rich splendours of a delicatey balanced ecological hierarchy, from the tiniest insects to the different mammals that range through glens, over rocky hills and through the few remaining forests found there.
		The phrase, Boirenn in Corcumruad, suggests an unequal relationship, a reltionship of possessor and possessed; The word Burren is derived from "bhoireann", which means "a stony place".
		The large round cairns on the summit of Turlough Hill and on Slievecarran are two of the most prominent and striking sites, but there are many smaller examples as well.

		For hours we marched in our own clothes up the hills of Ballymore-Eustace and down again through nettles and thistles and mud startling numerous frogs whose lives would never be the same again.

		Aware of the substantial waste of night-time capacity, the ESB commissioned the Turlough Hill pumped storage hydro-electric station in 1968.
		This station, located in County Wicklow, pumps water uphill at night with the excess energy created by other stations, and releases it downhill during the day to turn turbines.
