German government says pumped hydro power capacity to
The capacity of pumped storage hydro power stations available to the German energy system is expected to grow by about 1.4 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, with roughly one third of the capacity being installed abroad, the German government says in an answer to a parliamentary inquiry by the opposition party FDP.According to planning by
Norwegian pumped storage hydropower could help stabilise
