6 FAQs about [Pumped Hydropower Storage Development]

What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a form of clean energy storage that is ideal for electricity grid reliability and stability. PSH complements wind and solar by storing the excess electricity they create and providing the backup for when the wind isn’t blowing, and the sun isn’t shining.

What is pumped storage hydropower?

Pumped storage hydropower is the world's largest battery technology, with a global installed capacity of nearly 200 GW – this accounts for over 94% of the world’s long duration energy storage capacity, well ahead of lithium-ion and other battery types. Water in a PSH system can be reused multiple times, making it a rechargeable water battery.

What is pumped hydropower storage (PHS)?

Note: PHS = pumped hydropower storage. The transition to renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, requires increased flexibility in power systems. Wind and solar generation are intermittent and have seasonal variations, resulting in increased need for storage to guarantee that the demand can be met at any time.

What is the pumped storage hydropower guidance note?

This guidance note delivers recommendations to reduce risks and enhance certainty in project development and delivery. It also equips key decision-makers with the tools to guide the development of pumped storage hydropower projects and unlock crucial finance mechanisms.

How many pumped storage hydropower projects are there in 2024?

The 2024 World Hydropower Outlook reported that 214 GW of pumped storage hydropower projects are currently at various stages of development. Recent atlases compiled by the Australian National University identify 600,000 identified off-river sites suggesting almost limitless potential for scaling up global PSH capacity.

Is pumped storage hydropower a Renaissance?

PSH is currently experiencing a renaissance, with world leaders recognising it as a flexible, reliable and renewable long duration energy storage option. The 2024 World Hydropower Outlook reported that 214 GW of pumped storage hydropower projects are currently at various stages of development.
