Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.

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.
1. Introduction 1.1. Background and Significance of Pumped Hydro Storage Energy Systems transition towards more sustainable, low-carbon energy systems. This shift is driven fossil fuels, and ensure energy security. The increased adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, has been central to this transition. However, these
