Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) currently accounts for over 90% of storage capacity and stored energy in grid scale applications globally. The current storage volume of PSH stations is at least 9,000 GWh, whereas batteries amount to just 7-8 GWh.
IHA's Hydropower Pumped Storage Tracking Tool maps the locations and data for existing and planned pumped storage projects. The tool is the most comprehensive and up-to-date online resource tracking the world's water batteries.
Current forecasts are that Africa is set to increase its renewable energy (RE) capacity by 176 GW in 2040, whilst its peak demand will grow to 413 GW. Simultaneously, many existing generation plants (all fuel types) will be decommissioned during this period as they reach their end of life, resulting in a peak supply gap from 2030.
