Interactive tool for tracking pumped storage hydropower projects launched by IHA at COP23 climate conference 9 November 2017 - More than 100 pumped storage hydropower projects totalling some 75 GW of new capacity are in the pipeline around the world, according to a new online resource launched today in Bonn, Germany.
This includes 6.4 GW of pumped storage, nearly twice the amount installed in 2015, and brings the world’s total installed hydro capacity to 1,246 GW. IHA estimates current total installed pumped storage capacity at 150 GW. Read more in the 2017 Hydropower Status Report.
The tool is the most comprehensive and up-to-date online resource tracking the world's water batteries. The tool shows the status of a pumped storage project, it's installed generating and pumping capacity, and its actual or planned date of commissioning. Learn more about pumped storage hydropower.
The first of these projects will come on line in 2018, and the majority will be operational by 2030. Known as the world’s ‘water batteries’, pumped storage hydropower is the cleanest and most cost-effective form of energy storage existing today.
The Nant de Drance pumped storage power plant centers around a 900 MW underground power plant connecting the two existing reservoirs of Emosson and Vieux Emosson in the Swiss Alps. We need to replace fossil fuels in the future energy mix. Wind and solar power will be crucial components of the renewable systems, but they cannot stand alone.
Pumped storage is currently the only energy technology capable of storing electricity on a large scale and in a cost effective and sustainable way, while also providing flexible supply to grids with a high share of variable renewables. Thus, capacities are expected to grow substantially to and to 700 GW by 2050.
