The Black Mesa Pumped Storage Project (BMPSP) is a pumped storage hydro project proposed by Nature & People First. This energy development company wants to build three “Pumped Storage” energy projects along the northeastern edge of Black Mesa.

The purpose of the project is to generate and store electricity. The method is to generate electricity by pumping water uphill into water reservoirs when electricity prices are low and releasing it downhill into water reservoirs through electricity generators when electricity prices are high.
