On paper, MGES carries several benefits. For instance, unlike pumped hydro-storage plants – which tend to be limited to height differences of approximately 1,200 metres as a result of high hydraulic pressures – MGES could extend past 5,000 metres, allowing for greater long-term storage. "This could certainly benefit mountainous regions
