Technical FAQs 4

How many pumped storage power plants are there in Spain?

Spain currently has 18 pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants with an installed capacity of 6 GW. What is a pumping station? Pumped-storage power plants have two water reservoirs at different heights. During off-peak hours, water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir.

What is the largest pumped storage plant in Spain?

La Muela, with an installed capacity of 635-MW, is the largest pumped storage plant in operation in Spain. It has been in operation since 1989. This project, located near Valencia in southeastern Spain, utilizes the Jucar River as the lower reservoir and an artificial upper reservoir as shown in the picture at right.

Which pumped-storage plant in Portugal will be built in 2026?

In northern Portugal, the company already inaugurated the ambitious 1,158 MW Támega project in 2022, and by 2026 it expects to reach 120 million kWh of pumped storage capacity. La Muela II pumped-storage hydropower station. Hydroelectric pumping technology is the most efficient system that allows to store energy in a large-scale today.

Are pumped hydro power plants a good option for large-scale storage?

Therefore, the incorporation of efficient storage systems is essential. In this respect, pumped hydro power plants emerge as the most efficient and cost-effective renewable option for large-scale storage.
