Globally pumped hydro storage represents 94% of all energy storage capacity. Sweden has some conventional pumped hydro storages (PHS), the largest with a capacity of 55 MW, but in relation to other parts of the world, PHS has not been that widespread in the country.
Pumped Hydro Storage was started by enthusiasts with a background from renewables, and with a strong desire to make a difference in the energy transition. The World’s Most Sustainable Balancing Power Enabling a Fossil-Free Generation Pumped Hydro’s and SENS team has an extensive experience of renewable energy development and planning
More than 90% of energy storage today is provided by pumped storage hydropower, as it allows for quick response with incomparable flexibility to fluctuations in energy demand. This enables the integration of volatile renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, into the grid and stabilizes it.
13 February 2024 SWEDEN – The energy storages are being built in Falköping (16 MW), Karlskrona (16 MW), Katrineholm (20 MW), Mjölby (8 MW), Sandviken (20 MW), Vaggeryd (11 MW), Värnamo (20 MW) and Västerås (11 MW). A storage with a power of 20 MW correlates to what a Swedish town with 40,000 inhabitants on average consumes during peak hours.
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a proven technology for energy storage. Today, more than 94% of the world’s total installed storage capacity is in the form of PSH. However, it is very difficult today to build new pumped hydropower.
