    Off-river pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is not on-river energy generation. PHES doesn't need a river. It doesn't even need fresh water. For bulk storage capacity, there is no cost-competitive alternative technology at present. Iron-air batteries look promising, as do other chemistries, but can we afford to wait for them?

    I live in a coal mining area. We have lots of big holes in the ground. PHES is a viable, environmentally benign use for them.

  3. If you happen to have the right geography:

    "Researchers with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory said closed-loop #PumpedStorage #hydropower will have a lower carbon footprint throughout the lifecycle of the technology, from construction to decommissioning, than other renewable #EnergyStorage technologies like lithium-ion batteries. "

  4. Drax granted approval for £500m pumped storage hydro plant - Energy Live News

    Confusingly written article (suspect the author wasn't aware that Cruachan already houses pumped storage), but important progress if the expansion is of significant size.

  5. @AeonMach @jbenjamint I’d agree with you about not pinning our hopes on #hydrogen. But I used to live in the Gt Glen and saw the scale of environmental damage done by early pumped storage schemes - #LochNess/#LochMhor at #Foyers. But not only the early ones! The #GlenDoe scheme above #FtAugustus flooded a massive basin of #peatland supporting. good breeding populations of rare waders …dunlin, golden plover & greenshank… in the #Monadhliath

    #pumpedStorage not the answer.
