The Taum Sauk pumped storage plant is a power station in the St. Francois mountain region of Missouri, United States about 90 miles south of St. Louis near Lesterville, Missouri, in Reynolds County. It is operated by Ameren Missouri.
The pumped-storage hydroelectric plant was constructed from 1960–1962 and was designed to help meet daytime peak electric power demand. It began operation in 1963. Electrical generators are turned by water flowing from a reservoir on top of Proffit Mountain into a lower reservoir on the East Fork of the Black River. At night, excess electricity on the power grid is used to pump water back to the mountaintop.
