Its turbines consist of Francis turbines, reversible pump turbines, Pelton turbines, and Kaplan turbines.

In August 2002, construction started on installing two 150 MW reversible pump generators and by July 2006, they were operational.

With an EHA, high-power versions of these motors are used to drive a reversible pump, which is tied to a hydraulic cylinder.

Construction on Taum Sauk began in 1960, and it went into operation in 1963 with two reversible pump-turbine units that could each generate of power.
5.
Since the Russell Dam is primarily a peaking facility, the reversible pump-turbines pump water from the backwaters of Lake Thurmond into Lake Russell during off-peak hours when electricity is cheap and demand is low.
6.
During night time hours, when power rates are less expensive, the reversible pump-back units return water from Twin Lakes water that was already used at least once by the units to generate electricity back to the forebay so it can flow down again for more power generation.
