Pumped storage is currently the only energy technology capable of storing electricity on a large scale and in a cost effective and sustainable way, while also providing flexible supply to grids with a high share of variable renewables. Thus, capacities are expected to grow substantially to and to 700 GW by 2050.
As multi-functional power plants, pumped storage facilities have a high potential to meet this challenge, because their technology is based on the only long-term, technically proven and cost-effective form of storing energy on a large scale, thereby making it available at short notice.
Their special feature: They are an energy store and a hydroelectric power plant in one. If there is a surplus of power in the grid, the pumped storage power station switches to pumping mode – an electric motor drives the pump turbines, which pumps water from a lower reservoir to a higher storage basin.
We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of all new developments in pumped storage technology. Besides ensuring control and peak energy, storage and pumped storage power plants serve to improve flood protection, provide additional irrigation or ensure a steady supply of drinking water.
The Nant de Drance pumped storage power plant centers around a 900 MW underground power plant connecting the two existing reservoirs of Emosson and Vieux Emosson in the Swiss Alps. We need to replace fossil fuels in the future energy mix. Wind and solar power will be crucial components of the renewable systems, but they cannot stand alone.

With around 900 MW of installed capacity from run-of-river power plants and around 1,900 MW of installed capacity from pumped storage and storage power plants, more than ten percent of our electricity generation comes from water power. Hydropower …
1. Pumped Hydro Storage. Pumped hydro is a mature and safe technology that is the most widely used type of energy storage. A typical pumped hydro project will have water pumped to an elevated reservoir using electrical pumps when energy demand is low. This stored water is released through turbines, which generate hydroelectricity to meet ...
Pumped storage facilities are built to push water from a lower reservoir uphill to an elevated reservoir during times of surplus electricity. In pumping mode, electric energy is converted to potential energy and stored in the form of water at an …
