Applicability of Hydropower Generation and Pumped Hydro Energy Storage

Hydropower generation coupled with pumped hydro storage is an old but effective supply/demand buffer that is a function of the availability of a freshwater resource and the ability to construct an elevated water reservoir. Other countries in Africa, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and, in 2016, South Africa, are following
