The 40m (131ft) tall water towers are included in the construction of the turbines and are higher altitude reservoirs that are a part of a pumped storage hydroelectric power station located 200m below the turbines. The water battery aspect of the project is what gives these turbines extra height. An average US household uses about 10MWh/year.

At the top of each tower is a GE 3.4-137 3.4MW generator which developers believe will average about 10,500MWh/year – an approximate capacity factor of 34.4 percent. The tallest turbine is a part of a four-unit group with heights ranging from 155-178m (508-584ft). The turbines, based in Galidorf, Germany are a part of a ‘water battery’ project which cost €70M ($81M) with an expected revenue of €6.5M ($7.6) in their first year of service. The electric storage capacity of the power plant is designed for a total of 70-megawatt hours," described the company website. They are connected via an underground penstock to a pumped-storage hydro power station in the valley that can provide up to 16 megawatts in power. Sizewise LLC acquired an 81,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Hays, Kan., on Wednesday, doubling the company’s production capacity. "The foundations of the four most powerful wind turbine generators will be used as upper reservoir for this purpose. Sizewise Overview Headquarters: Lenexa, KS Size: 501 to 1000 Employees Founded: 1996 Type: Company - Private Revenue: Unknown / Non-Applicable. This leads to fewer interruptions in generation. In the past many companies learned that if they wanted to survive and. For every added meter in height, the annual energy output is upped by 0.5-1 percent due to lower turbulence and stronger, more consistent winds. Like all of these things, the store card and stamp promotions have an initial.

Size-wise the turbine ‘hub’ is 178m (584ft) tall, and the tower’s total height – to the tips of the extended upward blades – is 246.5m (809ft).
