A rare look deep inside Norris Dam as crews operate large hydraulic equipment to open all eight sluice gates. Sluice gates are low-level outlets, and one of three ways we can release water at dams - generators, spillways, and sluices.

Norris Dam is spilling water over the spillway gates to recover flood storage and bring the lake level down. After a record month of rainfall, the reservoir level increased by 26 feet in 3 weeks. During this flood event, Norris will store 305 billion gallons of water to protect downstream communities throughout the Valley. Total releases will be 15,000 cubic feet per second today and increasing tomorrow to 24,000 cfs. Prepare for above normal river conditions on the Clinch River below the dam. #

When completed in 1936, it helped power the Valley from the mountains of East Tennessee to the river shoals of Alabama. Along with the other dams in our hydro fleet, Norris continues to provide reliable, low-cost renewable hydropower for the region. Click on the link to get an up-close look ins
