Pumped storage hydropower facilities rely on two reservoirs at different elevations to store and generate energy. When other power plants generate more electricity than the grid needs, a PSH plant can use that power to pump water into the upper reservoir. The system also requires power as it pumps water. . NLR experts are developing tools and partnering with industry to unlock the full potential of pumped storage hydropower (PSH)—a form of hydropower used to generate electricity, store energy, and provide grid services. It is often mistakenly considered a tapped resource, but according to the U. . Pumped hydropower is currently the most common type of energy storage, and this utility-scale gravity storage technology has been deployed continuously for the better part of the last century in the United States and around the world.

In the context of increasing renewable energy penetration, energy storage configuration plays a critical role in mitigating output volatility, enhancing absorption rates, and ensuring the stable operation of power systems. . The Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM) represents a significantly expanded strategic revision on the original ESGC 2020 Roadmap. This SRM outlines activities that implement the strategic objectives facilitating safe, beneficial and timely storage deployment;. . We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. Following a record year in 2024, when more than 10 gigawatts of utility-scale battery storage were installed nationwide, deployment accelerated even further in 2025.
