The pump-turbine units were uprated in July 1972 from their initial rating of 175 MW each to 204 MW each, increasing the plant's overall rating from 350 MW to 408 MW. [3] [16] From 1998–1999, the turbine runners for both units were upgraded, resulting in improved flow rates and another power uprate to 225 MW per unit (450 MW total). [17] [16]

Towns and municipalities use FIRMs to plan zoning areas. Most places will not allow construction in a flood way.
