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.
Long-duration electricity storage is an essential to achieve our net zero targets and pumped hydro storage is the world’s largest, most proven and cost-efficient technology. By harnessing its potential, we can ensure a reliable and sustainable energy future. Pumped hydro storage uses excess electricity during off-peak hours.
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.
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with over 400 projects in operation. The guidance note delivers recommendations to reduce risks and enhance certainty in project development and delivery.
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:
