Subterranean pumped-storage hydroelectric power station featuring a man-made hilltop reservoir into which water is pumped by the station generators (acting as pumps) during times of low demand (eg overnight), and released through the generators to generate electricity during times of high demand.
Apparently the site of the Irish government nuclear bunker.
