Pumped Storage Plants
Hydropower plant plus energy storage – The most efficient large-scale energy storage solution for grid stability and renewable integration.
Hydropower Plant Plus Energy Storage
Pumped storage plants are multi-functional power facilities with high potential to meet today’s energy challenges. Their technology is based on the only long-term, technically proven and cost-effective form of storing energy on a large scale, making it available at short notice.
Energy consumption is rapidly increasing worldwide. At the same time, it is becoming harder to keep energy production and consumption in balance at all times. Pumped storage facilities provide the critical solution for grid stability and renewable energy integration.

Advantages of Pumped Storage Plants
Flexible and Reliable
React to grid fluctuations in the shortest possible time by generating required electricity or absorbing excess power within seconds.
Green Battery
The only economically viable, large-scale energy storage technology available today with proven track record.
High Efficiency
Pumped storage plants work at an efficiency level of up to 82 percent, making them highly economical.
Renewable Integration
Provide reserve output during low wind or lack of sunshine, enabling higher renewable penetration.
Exceptional Lifetime
Designed and built to last more than 80 years, providing long-term energy security and value.
Water Management
Additional benefits for water resource management and flood control in the region.
Hybrid and Symbiotic Concepts
Wind-Hydro Hybrid
Combining wind power and hydropower with the upper basin integrated into wind turbine foundations. Shared infrastructure reduces costs and environmental impact.
Seawater Pumped Storage
Using the ocean as the lower reservoir instead of precious fresh water. Ideal for island grids and coastal applications with corrosion-resistant technology.
Water-Energy Symbiosis
Combining seawater pumped storage with desalination plants to provide both fresh water and clean energy in arid coastal regions.
The hybrid and symbiotic concepts could bring greater grid stability, skilled jobs and hope for a decarbonized future
