Description
Description | Development of closed-loop pumped hydro energy storage (CLPHES) projects across India to support renewable energy integration by providing long-duration energy storage. The projects utilize reservoirs that can be natural or man-made, with water sources such as rainwater harvesting, wastewater, or seawater, offering a safer and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional river-based pumped hydro storage. The potential for CLPHES in India is estimated at over 119.3 GW across 95 sites, with significant opportunities in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. |
