The National Hydropower Association (NHA) released the 2024 Pumped Storage Report, which details both the promise and the challenges facing the U.S. pumped storage hydropower industry. As the global community accelerates its transition toward renewable energy, the importance of reliable energy storage becomes increasingly evident.
What is pumped storage hydropower?
Pumped storage hydropower enables greater integration of other renewables (wind/solar) into the grid by utilizing excess generation, and being ready to produce power during low wind and solar generation periods. It also has the ability to quickly ramp electricity generation up in response to periods of peak demand.
Which country has the most pumped hydropower in 2024?
Learn more In 2024, China ranked first in the world in terms of pumped storage hydropower capacity, with more than 50.9 gigawatts. Japan and the United States followed second and third respectively, with roughly 21.9 gigawatts and 18.9 gigawatts of capacity respectively.
What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?
Among the various technologies available, pumped storage hydropower (PSH) stands out as a cornerstone solution, ensuring grid stability and sustainability. This report explores the substantial benefits, challenges, and strategic pathways for advancing PSH in North America, emphasizing its vital role in a renewable energy future.
What is a pumped storage facility?
Pumped storage facilities are built to push water from a lower reservoir uphill to an elevated reservoir during times of surplus electricity. In pumping mode, electric energy is converted to potential energy and stored in the form of water at an upper elevation, which is why it is sometimes called a “water battery”.
