Pumped Storage Hydropower. High efficiency in energy storage and release, especially during peak electricity demand. Higher capital cost due to construction of reservoirs and dams, but cost-effective in long-term energy management. Potential impact on ecosystems and water flow, but generally lower than fossil fuels.

The problem is that, with many technologies, "it actually costs more to store electricity than to make it," he said. In many cases, solar and wind have become less expensive than coal and gas

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) – the idea of an upper reservoir supplying a lower reservoir for creating energy – is not a new concept. In fact, there are 43 PSH plants in the United States, with a total capacity of 21.9 gigawatts and nearly 553 gigawatt hours of energy storage, as of 2021, representing 93% of all utility-scale
