How many megawatts will a hydropower reservoir have by 2030?

An additional 78,000 megawatts (MW) in clean energy storage capacity is expected to come online by 2030 from hydropower reservoirs fitted with pumped storage technology, according to the International Hydropower Association (IHA).

What is the objective of the Java-Bali hydropower project?

The objective of the Project is to improve the power system peaking and storage capacity of the Java-Bali grid by developing the second large-scale pumped storage hydropower plant and strengthen PLN’s capacity for hydropower development and management. B.

What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) currently accounts for over 90% of storage capacity and stored energy in grid scale applications globally. The current storage volume of PSH stations is at least 9,000 GWh, whereas batteries amount to just 7-8 GWh.

How many GWh does a pumped hydropower storage project store?

In a working paper published today, The World’s Water Battery: Pumped Hydropower Storage and the Clean Energy Transition, IHA also estimates that pumped hydropower storage projects globally now store up to 9,000 gigawatt hours (GWh).

How much will hydropower storage capacity increase by 2030?

With more than 100 projects currently in the pipeline, existing pumped hydropower storage capacity is expected to increase by almost 50 per cent by 2030 – from 161,000 MW today to 239,000 MW – according to the working paper which draws on data from IHA’s Hydropower Pumped Storage Tracking Tool.

What's new in the hydropower pumped storage tracking tool?

The publication is released alongside a major update to IHA’s Hydropower Pumped Storage Tracking Tool, which shows the status of PHS projects around the world, their installed generating and pumping capacity, and their actual or planned date of commissioning.
