In addition to PSH, CSP storage and batteries, the IEA Special Hydropower Market Report estimated the energy storage capabilities of hydropower (IEA, 2021f). Accordingly, existing conventional reservoir hydropower plants can store up to 1 500 TWh of electricity, significantly more than all other storage technologies combined. IEA.
Pumped storage hydropower plants will remain a key source of electricity storage capacity alongside batteries. Global pumped storage capacity from new projects is expected to increase by 7% to 9 TWh by 2030.
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) provides 42% of global expansion of electricity storage capacity. With over 40 GW of expansion in the next five years, PSH remains the largest source of installed storage capacity, achieving 200 GW cumulatively installed by 2026, three times larger than batteries.
For the energy sector, storing excess renewable energy is a significant advantage. It means the sector can rely less on fossil fuel-based power plants. This will help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This positive environmental benefit is important to energy companies like SSE. Pumped hydro storage also offers grid stability and flexibility.
For PSH, existing reservoir plants and dams can offer opportunities to achieve long-term storage cost effectively. In the IEA Special Hydropower Market Report (IEA, 2021f), the outlook to 2030 indicated that adding PSH capabilities to existing reservoirs would add more storage capability than new projects.
Addressing global electricity storage capabilities, our forecast expects them to increase by 40% to reach almost 12 TWh in 2026, with PSH accounting for almost all of it. India dominates storage capability expansion by commissioning over 2.5 TWh (80% of the expansion) thanks to projects using existing large reservoirs.
