If one-tenth of the global conventional hydropower capacity 5 is technically eligible for similar-scale pumped storage renovations, this could result in an increase of over 120 GW in storage capacity — 1.2 times greater than the total capacity of all other energy storage technologies worldwide.
The worldwide growth in variable renewable energy sources like wind and solar is increasing the need for energy storage solutions, especially pumped storage hydropower.
A massive planned buildout of pumped storage hydropower (PSH) in Eastern Asia, driven by China, would allow this region to single-handedly meet the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) 1.5°C Scenario target of 420 gigawatts of pumped storage worldwide by 2050, according to new data from Global Energy Monitor.
Zhang Zongliang, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, emphasizes the critical role of pumped hydro storage in addressing these challenges. He believes significant market growth for pumped hydro storage in China is expected, driven by the increasing integration of wind and solar power into the energy system.
