Pumped storage hydro (PSH) is a mature technology that includes pumping water from a lower reservoir to a higher one where it is stored until needed. When released, the water from the upper reservoir flows back down through a turbine and generates electricity. There are various configurations of this technology, including open-loop (when one or
NZ Battery Project. The NZ Battery Project was set up in 2020 to explore possible renewable energy storage solutions for when our hydro lakes run low for long periods. A pumped hydro scheme at Lake Onslow was one of the options being explored. The Government stopped the Lake Onslow investigations in late 2023.

Two pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects at very different stages of development in Hawaii and Wyoming would enable hundreds of additional megawatt-hours of clean energy use in each region.
While pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) provides 95% of utility-scale energy storage in the United States, long lead times, high capital costs, and site selection difficulties have hampered new project deployments. However, Houston-based Quidnet Energy is taking an alternative approach to conventional PSH development.
These findings, reported in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, provide previously unknown insight into how closed-loop pumped storage hydropower—which is not connected to an outside body of water—compares to other grid-scale storage technologies.. Increasing the energy storage capacity can support a
