How They Work: Pumped-Storage Power Plants

Pumped-storage power plants are structured around two bodies of water, an upper and a lower reservoir 1 (see the diagram below). At times of very high electricity consumption on the grid, the water from the upper reservoir, carried downhill by a penstock, drives a turbine and a generator to produce electricity, which is used to meet

What is pumped storage hydro?

Pumped storage hydro power stations require very specific sites, with substantial bodies of water between different elevations. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of potential sites around the UK, including disused mines, quarries and underground caverns, but the cost of developing entirely new facilities is huge.
