An ambitious plan to build a 600 MW pumped hydro facility in California has gotten past a thicket of interconnect issues. If built, a hydroelectric facility will create energy and pump water uphill during off-peak hours from Lake Elsinoreto to…
Pumped hydro is one of the oldest and most reliable ways of storing energy. Belgium plans to take excess wind power and use it to pump water out of the lagoon back into the ocean. When power is needed, the water…
The falling price of solar power during the day in Germany means pumped hydro operators can operate at low prices twice a day now, not just at night when traditional power is cheaper. This potentially doubles output because now reservoirs…
Hydroelectric power has been around for a long time. With pumped hydro, water is pumped up to a reservoir during times of excess power production. When power is needed, the water is released to power turbines and create electricity, and…
Renewable energy will now be required to be stored in California so it can be used in off-hours. The most common method is pumped-hydro, with batteries an obvious choice too. With pumped hydro, water is pumped uphill to a holding…
