There's a lot to enjoy in @debcha "How Infrastructure Works". But I particularly enjoyed the details about the Dinorwig Power Station. The UK's largest battery. Had never heard of it before!

Here's an article she wrote about it for the Guardian:

Electric mountain: the power station that shows the beauty of infrastructure

The long read: Utilitarian as they may be, some civic projects are so monumental they approach the sublime. And one of the most elegant is hidden inside a mountain in Wales

@NationCymru Such a shame they let it go like this. The café was always very nice and the shop very popular with tourists. I miss it. It's also a great shame they stopped doing the excellent tours of the power station from there. They were fascinating for anyone with even a hint of interest in engineering. The sheer scale of the construction was awesome (not a word I use lightly). I hope they do them again one day. #Dinorwig #ElectricMountain #Llanberis #Cymru #Wales
