Pumped Storage Hydropower FAST Commissioning Technical Analysis Summary Report Overview: This report is designed to address barriers and solutions to modern pumped storage
New projects including Kidston Pumped Hydro (QLD) – the first Pumped Hydro Energy Storage System in 37 years – Borumba Pumped Hydro Energy Project (QLD), Snowy 2.0 (NSW) and Tarraleah (Tas) are currently in the pipeline and will see the number of connected schemes grow along with the total percentage of electricity generated.
Pumped Hydro Energy Storage projects date back over 100 years globally with Australia’s own history emerging in the late 1940’s with the Snowy Hydro. The importance of the Snowy Hydro laid the foundations for Pumped Hydro Energy Storage in Australia with Tumut 3 located within the scheme reaching completion in 1973.
Wind and solar output need to be moved through space (networks) and time (storage). The storage asset class with the highest energy density, pumped hydro, appears to be facing structurally high capital costs with recent Australian estimates given via high profile projects under development (viz. Snowy 2.0, Borumba) being ~$6000/kW in real terms.
Following the procurement and contractual close of the Kidston Pumped Hydro Project and Snowy 2.0, multiple pumped hydro energy storage projects have been announced, and are in the early stages of planning and procurement.
How pumped hydro energy storage is driving Australia's energy transition designed to improve grid stability and sustainability. Pumped Hydro Energy Storage is a vital technology driving Australia’s energy transition, offering a proven and reliable solution for storing excess energy and delivering power on demand.
It also supports contract market liquidity through firming contracts. Pumped hydro is highlighted in the ISP as a key part to achieving storage goals, with Snowy Hydro’s 2.2 GW/350 GWh pumped hydro project (Snowy 2.0) currently under construction.
