It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge). Department of Energy's 2016 Hydropower Vision report, hydropower's capacity can sustainably add 50 new gigawatts by 2050 — 36 GW of which is pumped storage. The National Hydropower Association (NHA) released the 2024. . Pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS) is the most widely used electrical energy storage technology in the world today. PSH complements wind and solar by storing the excess electricity they create and providing the backup for when the wind isn't blowing, and the sun isn't shining.
