The Cultana Pumped Hydro Energy Storage - Phase 2 project acknowledges that energy storage technology is emerging in Australia to support renewable energy integration and maintain a secure a reliable electricity grid - especially in contingency events.
We specialize in developing closed-loop pumped storage hydropower projects, a low-impact technology that minimizes water use and environmental impact while adding much-needed storage capacity to the grid.

As we add more solar and wind to the grid (looking at you, California and Texas), these pumped storage plants become the ultimate wingmen. They''re solving the "sun doesn''t shine at night" problem better than any bedtime story.
There are 41 utility-scale hydroelectric plants currently online in the USA that have reversible pump/turbines, and qualify as part of a pumped storage project.
Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store energy and generate electricity.
With solar generation up 40% year-over-year but grid stability incidents doubling since 2023, the city needed a game-changer. Enter the Bridgetown Grid-Side Energy Storage Project: a 100MW/400MWh lithium-ion battery system strategically positioned at three key substations.

A primary goal of this paper is to offer the reader a pumped storage hydropower (PSH) handbook of historic development and current projects, new project opportunities and challenges, as well as technological advancement and resource capabilities.
Finland has announced plans to build up to three small-scale pumped storage hydropower plants in the northern part of the country to bolster its green transition and enhance energy balance.
Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store energy and generate electricity. Generally, when electricity demand is low (e.g., at night), excess electric generation capacity is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir.
Pumped storage hydropower projects use electricity to store potential energy by moving water between an upper and lower reservoir. Using electricity from the grid to pump water from a lower elevation, PSH creates potential energy in the form of water stored at an upper elevation, which is why it is often referred to as a “water battery”.

Diagram of a Pumped Storage Project. The Commission has authorized a total of 24 pumped storage projects that are constructed and in operation, with a total installed capacity of over 16,500 megawatts. Most of these projects were authorized more than 30 years ago.
There are 43 PSH projects in the U.S.1 providing 22,878 megawatts (MW) of storage capacity2. Individual unit capacities at these projects range from 4.2 to 462 MW. Globally, there are approximately 270 pumped storage plants, representing a combined generating capacity of 161,000 (MW)3.
The current U.S. fleet of operating (single- speed) pumped storage plants does not provide regulation in the pump mode because the pumping power is “fixed” – a project must pump in “blocks” of power - though a single pumped storage facility may consist of multiple units and smaller blocks of power.
