Avče Pumped Storage Plant
The Avče Pumped Storage Plant (, abbreviated ČHE Avče) is a pumped-storage power plant near the village of Avče in western Slovenia. The power plant was completed in June 2009 and it was put into commercial use in April 2010. The main building contractor was Primorje Ajdovščina. The powerplant is the first of its kind in Slovenia. It pumps water from a height of above sea level near the village of Avče to a height of . The reservoir is close to the village of Kanalski Vrh Kanalski Vrh ( or ) is a village in the hills above Kanal in the Littoral region of Slovenia. Name The name of the settlement was changed from ''Vrh'' to ''Kanalski Vrh'' in 1952. Church The local church is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Hermi ..., and it holds a little over 2 million cubic meters of water. The generator generates when producing electricity and uses when pumping water. The same turbine is used for pumping and generating electricity.

Energy Infrastructure Completed In 2009
Energy () is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light. Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J). Forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object (for instance due to its position in a field), the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, the radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation, the internal energy contained within a thermodynamic system, and rest energy associated with an object's rest mass. These are not mutually exclusive. All life, living organisms constantly take in and release energy. The Earth's climate and ecosystems processes are driven pr ...
