The plant has two 7 MW Kaplan vertical-axis turbines and two 9.1 MW Kaplan vertical-axis turbines. The turbines were commissioned between 1958 and 1973. [4] It has a total power of 29.8 MW. [3] The plant has suffered from technical problems and poor management. As of 2015 Ruzizi I was operating at an average power of about 16 MW. [2]
With a combined installed capacity of 1,600 megawatts (2,100,000 hp), [1] the system is the third largest pumped-storage power station in Japan. The facilities are run by Electric Power Development Company (J-Power). [1] Like most pumped-storage facilities, the power station uses two reservoirs, releasing and pumping as the demand rises and falls.
