The Ministry of Power (MoP) has invited public comments on draft guidelines for the procurement of storage capacity and stored energy from Pumped Storage Plants (PSPs) through competitive bidding. These guidelines aim to promote the development of PSPs and create a transparent framework for their integration into the national power grid.
A Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) or Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) plant pumps water to an upper reservoir when power and electricity prices are low and releases the water back to the lower reservoir through a turbine when loads are high and electricity prices are higher. PHS is a flexible form of energy storage technology that contributes to balancing the …
