Pumped hydro energy storage projects are a type of energy storage system that utilizes the natural storage capacity of water. They offer a solution for energy storage in markets with high penetration of renewable energy. Pumped hydro helps to maximize the use of renewables that are subject to the vagaries of the weather.
Once built, it would be largest pumped storage hydro scheme in 30 years, and have generating capacity to power three million homes for 24 hours non-stop. Hamilton-based ILI Group's £550m 450MW Red John project is planned for near Dores on Loch Ness. The Scottish government granted it planning permission earlier this month.
Now, new research reveals that by using river-based projects Australia’s pumped storage potential is far greater than had been previously anticipated. As the only mature and economically viable technology for large scale energy storage, pumped hydro accounts for almost 97% of the total energy storage capacity installed worldwide to date.
While the company has been allocated up to 50KWh (kilo-watts per hour) of pumped hydro storage projects in various states across the country, these are in initial stages of development.
