Mormon Flat Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Maricopa County, Arizona, US.
Mormon Flat Dam stretches 116 meters in length and stands at an elevation of 506 meters, generating electricity through two distinct power units.
The Salt River Project constructed Mormon Flat Dam between 1923 and 1925 to address growing agricultural demands in the Salt River Valley region.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission maintains documents about Mormon Flat Dam through photographs, drawings, and maps for educational purposes.
The facility operates with two generators: a conventional 9.2 MW unit and a pumped storage system with 54.3 MW capacity for peak demand periods.
The dam creates Canyon Lake while functioning as both a conventional hydroelectric plant and a pumped storage facility for energy optimization.
