Integrating batteries in a hydropower plant that has little or no water storage, typically a small run-of-river plant, allows the plant owner to access new revenue streams by providing peaking
The Department of Energy (DOE) declared a 500 MW pumped storage hydropower project as a “project on national significance” under the Executive Order (EO) 30. DOE issued the certificate of Energy Projects of National Significance (EPNS) to Coheco Badeo Corp. (Cohecobadeo) on October 26.
About 275 MW of the existing hydro capacity comprises units more than 40 years old. Under the National Renewable Energy Program, the Philippines envisions tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, requiring an additional 14,900 MW, including 8,700 MW of hydropower. In addition, power transmission system upgrades are also in line.
The nation’s installed hydropower capacity now stands at 110GW, with 1.3GW more licensed or under construction. There are currently 32 advanced-stage projects totalling 442MW and 60 licensed projects awaiting construction, representing 945MW.
To support India’s storage targets, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has accelerated project approvals for six major projects totalling 7.5GW in 2024/25 and plans to approve at least 13 more projects (22GW) in 2025/26. As of early 2025, approximately 44.5GW of pumped storage projects are at various stages of development.
In 2024 the 44.5MW Khobi-2 hydropower project was commissioned, and the 22.4MW Kaspi Hydro Power Plant was announced and is set to be built on the Mtkvari River in the Kaspi Municipality. Construction work to recommission the 160MW pumped storage plant at Happurg is underway, just months after plans were announced by Uniper in mid-2024.
Hydropower attracted strong federal investment in the US in 2024. For example, in February the United States Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a total of $76 million to four proposed hydropower projects – three in Alaska and one in Washington State.
