On the other hand, in addition to the fact that the hydropower plant is a clean and sustainable energy resource, the pumped hydro storages (PHSs) as sustainable and flexible energy storage can be used in the power system to store the generated energy by renewable energy resources to improve the stability of power system ( Javed et al., 2020 ).
Pumped storage hydropower is an energy storage technology that plays a crucial role in stabilizing power grids, balancing electricity supply and demand, and integrating renewable energy sources into national grids.
In 2023, pumped hydropower was the dominant global electricity storage solution, accounting for 62 percent of the world's energy storage capacity. Discover all statistics and data on Global pumped storage hydropower industry now on statista.com!
There is over 5GW of pumped storage hydro projects in the UK pipeline which will inject billions into the economy and create over 15,000 new jobs.” Statkraft already has a number of pumped storage plants in operation in both Norway and Germany, alongside over 350 other hydropower plants, including Rheidol, near Aberystwyth, in Wales.
Ian Kinnaird, Drax's Scottish Assets Director, highlighted the significance of the recent developments, stating: “This is a significant stride toward realising a new generation of pumped storage hydro plants. These plants would enhance UK national energy security and play a vital role in the fight against climate change.”
Despite the critical role of pumped storage hydro plants in decarbonisation, the absence of a suitable investment framework has made it challenging to attract private investment. The UK has not seen the construction of such plants since 1984.
