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.
Image from IKM 3D. Pumped storage hydropower facilities rely on two reservoirs at different elevations to store and generate energy. When other power plants generate more electricity than the grid needs, a PSH plant can use that power to pump water into the upper reservoir.
The current U.S. fleet of operating (single- speed) pumped storage plants does not provide regulation in the pump mode because the pumping power is “fixed” – a project must pump in “blocks” of power - though a single pumped storage facility may consist of multiple units and smaller blocks of power.
There are 43 PSH projects in the U.S.1 providing 22,878 megawatts (MW) of storage capacity2. Individual unit capacities at these projects range from 4.2 to 462 MW. Globally, there are approximately 270 pumped storage plants, representing a combined generating capacity of 161,000 (MW)3.
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”.
Pumped storage hydropower does not calculate levelized cost of energy (LCOE) or levelized cost of storage (LCOS) and so does not use financial assumptions. Therefore, all parameters are the same for the research and development (R&D )and Markets & Policies Financials cases. 2024 ATB data for pumped storage hydropower (PSH) are shown above.
