A dynamic energy storage solution, pumped storage hydro has helped ‘balance’ the electricity grid for more than five decades to match our fluctuating demand for energy. Pumped storage hydro (PSH) involves two reservoirs at different elevations.
In fact, investing in pumped hydro storage could save up to £690 million a year on the pathway to net zero. This figure is from a study by independent researchers. It found that 4.5GW of new long duration pumped hydro storage with 90GWh of storage could save up to £690 million per year in energy system costs by 2050.
SSE Renewables commissioned the report by Imperial Consultants. It focused on the benefits of new long-duration pumped hydro storage in Scotland. Pumped hydro storage is the most established long-duration energy storage technology. Investing in this technology requires significant capital with a long build time.
For the energy sector, storing excess renewable energy is a significant advantage. It means the sector can rely less on fossil fuel-based power plants. This will help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This positive environmental benefit is important to energy companies like SSE. Pumped hydro storage also offers grid stability and flexibility.
And we are not the only ones who believe pumped hydro storage is key to our future success. In January 2024, the UK Government published a consultation by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) on how to unlock investment in long-duration electricity storage.
The Scottish Government has long been supportive of pumped hydro storage capacity, which we believe will play a key role in the energy transition and is a vital component of a more flexible, resilient and secure electricity supply." TheNet Zero and Energy Secretary continued:
