Should Greece invest in pumped hydropower storage facilities?

The pileup of proposals for wind and solar power plants in Greece bolstered the interest in investments in pumped hydropower storage facilities to balance the output from the two intermittent sources. Government-controlled PPC is dominating the map.

What is hydro pumped storage in Amfilochia?

The project “Hydro Pumped Storage in Amfilochia” is the largest investment in energy storage in Greece. With a total installed capacity of 680 MW (production) and 730 MW (pumping), the project consists of two independent upper reservoirs (Aghios Georgios and Pyrgos) and a common lower reservoir, Kastraki Lake.

How many GWh will a pumped storage hydropower plant have?

The plant is envisaged with 6 GWh in installed and guaranteed storage capacity. The other project is from Enercoplan. The location is in Arta in Epirus in western Greece. The pumped storage hydropower plant would have 375 MW and 350 MW, respectively, alongside 3 GWh in installed and 2.5 GWh in guranteed capacity. Then came the July round.

Is Terna Energy building a pumped storage hydropower plant?

Terna Energy is building its Amfilochia pumped storage hydropower plant. According to the schedule, it will come online in early 2026. Masdar is taking over the Greek company. Applications for 43 energy storage projects were submitted in the June round to RAAEW, for a combined 2.5 GW. Two are for pumped storage hydropower.
