Tata Power has a foothold in the region through three hydropower stations: Khopoli, Bhivpuri, and the Bhira station, which includes a 150MW pumped storage hydro project. The clean electricity generated from these projects has played an important role in the development of the capital city of Mumbai and its surroundings while bringing overall

The Chitravathi Pumped Storage Project is proposed on the Chitravathi River, a tributary of the Pennar River and will be located at the border of YSR Kadapa and Sri Satya Sai districts of Andhra Pradesh. The project site is accessible from the State Highway SH 121. The nearest airport to the site is Tirupati Airport (260km), the nearest

Pumped storage hydro – "the World''s Water Battery". 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. 40 countries with PSH but China, Japan

Pumped-hydro energy storage schemes (PHES) are developed for improving the net efficiency of the base load thermal power plants. These schemes are operated only at times of peak demand and during major power plant outages. In India, the first pumped storage plant was commissioned during 1985 and till today eleven plants

In this pilot project, the foundations of the wind turbines are used as upper reservoirs of a PHS facility. They are connected to a pumped-storage power station in the valley that can provide up to 16 MW in power. The electrical storage capacity of the power plant is designed for a total of 70 MWh (Max Bögl, 2018).

In October 2018 Odisha Hydro Power Corp (OHPC) proposed a PHS unit totalling 600 MW at its existing 600 MW hydropower plant at the Indravati multi-purpose reservoir in Odisha. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is planning a $210 million tender for construction of the project with total investment estimated at Rs 3,000 crore

PSH facilities store and generate electricity by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations.
