2022-02-11 Mine Storage Using Pumped Hydro In Sweden
This pumped hydro system uses an underground mine for the lower reservoir. It can even use a mine that is still in operation. They say there are plans for a 400 MW system. https://www.powermag.com/blueprint-underway-for-commercial-mine-energy-storage-facility-in-sweden/
2022-01-20 Pumped Hydro For Long Energy Storage
They say the problem with battery energy storage is that they say it’s not long-term; for renewables we need long-term energy storage. Pumped hydro has been used for a hundred years. Nothing high tech or no scalability issues. Just dig two lakes, one above the other, with pumps and generators between them. The costs may

2020-07-24 Hydrogen Electrolyzers Planned For Europe
From https://www.greentechmedia.com/amp/article/european-hydropower-dawdles-as-hydrogen-and-batteries-soar << Even green hydrogen, which is in its infancy today, could overtake new hydro capacity in Europe over the coming decade. This month, the European Union set a target of 40 gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity by 2030, up from 250 megawatts today. >> [The US should be planning at least that much.] <<
