What is pumped hydro energy storage (PHES)?

Fortunately, Europe has unlimited, low-cost, off-the-shelf, low-environmental-impact, long-duration, off-river pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), that requires tiny amounts of land and water and does not require new dams on rivers. PHES provides about 95% of global long-duration (hours-days) energy storage (GWh).

What is the Ontario pumped storage project?
