READ MOREPumped storage hydro (PSH) is a large-scale method of storing energy that can be converted into hydroelectric power. The long-duration storage technology has been used for more than half a century to balance demand on Great Britain''s electricity grid and accounts for more than 99% of bulk energy storage capacity worldwide.
READ MOREPumped storage is an effective, responsible way for Ontario to meet its electricity and power system needs. Using water and gravity, pumped storage acts like a giant battery. It stores excess electricity when demand is low and makes it available when it is high. This made-in-Ontario project will use state-of-the-art technology to pump water
READ MOREPumped storage hydropower is the world''s largest battery technology, accounting for over 94 per cent of installed global energy storage capacity, well ahead of lithium-ion and other battery types.
