How many pumped hydro energy storage sites are there in Australia?

Australia has many potential sites for pumped hydro energy storage (PHES). The initial survey found about 22,000 sites – the State and Territory breakdown is shown in the document. Each site has an energy storage potential between 1 and 200 Gigawatt hours (GWh).

What is the Central West pumped storage hydro project?

“The Central West Pumped Storage Hydro Project will be an integral piece of the puzzle in supporting the development of new renewable generation capacity in NSW and transitioning our energy system.” “Grid stability and security is one of the most pressing issues confronting the energy sector.

What is the Atlas of pumped hydro energy storage?

The Atlas of Pumped Hydro Energy Storage study aims to produce a comprehensive, rank-ordered online atlas of the most prospective STORES sites in Australia, made publicly available on the Australian Renewable Energy Mapping Infrastructure (AREMI) website, and as a GIS data file.

What is a 325mw pumped storage hydro project?

The 325MW pumped storage hydro project will be capable of providing 2,600MWh of stored energy for a period of up to eight hours when required, ensuring low-cost, long-duration energy storage. The project is located near Yetholme, 30 kilometres from Bathurst, adjacent to the proposed Central West-Orana Renewable Energy Zone (CWOREZ).

Which pumped hydro projects are mentioned in the 2024 ISP?

Other pumped hydro projects mentioned in the 2024 ISP include Queensland Hydro’s Borumba Pumped Hydro Project (2 GW/48 GWh), Genex’s Kidston Pumped Hydro Project (250 MW/2 GWh) and Hydro Tasmania’s Cethana Pumped Hydro Project (750 MW/15 GWh).

How does pumped hydro support contract market liquidity?

It also supports contract market liquidity through firming contracts. Pumped hydro is highlighted in the ISP as a key part to achieving storage goals, with Snowy Hydro’s 2.2 GW/350 GWh pumped hydro project (Snowy 2.0) currently under construction.
