A review of pumped hydro energy storage development in significant international electricity markets
2.1.2. Japan Japan has historically developed PHES to compliment its nuclear generation, and to provide an alternative to fossil fuelled peaking plants. With very modest indigenous fossil fuel resources (Japan imports 95% of its primary energy supply [31]), Japan chose nuclear power as a major source of electricity generation.
