A system and method that utilizes aquifer pressure to generate electrical energy. The system includes an aquifer, a well fluidly coupled to the aquifer, a pump and a turbine. The pump is arranged to cause water to flow out of the well. In response to the water flowing out of the well, replenishing water flows naturally from the aquifer into the well. A turbine-generator is arranged to convert kinetic energy of the replenishing water flow into electrical energy.
