Turlough Hill has four of six Generator s fitted and can generate 292 Megawatt . Like other similar systems, it has a Reservoir . 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. When the order is given, electricity can be made available within approximately a minute of startup. 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.
