Strictly speaking Dinorwig was not designed as a backup generator,

It would also be slightly difficult to claim that any such scheme is
a generator, because it consumes more electricity than it generates
(unless there has been a change in the laws of physics since I
studied the things).

That is not to say that such a scheme is not very useful however. As
your figures showed it is a good investment compared to
alternatives.
