Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW , and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional ...
Mingtan Pumped-Storage Hydro Power Plant dam in Nantou, Taiwan. As of 2023, pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH) was the largest form of grid energy storage globally, with an installed capacity of 181 GW, surpassing the combined capacity of utility-scale and behind-the-meter battery storage, which totaled approximately 88 GW.

In 2009 the United States had 21.5 GW of pumped storage generating capacity, accounting for 2.5% of baseload generating capacity. [14] This increased to a total of 22,878 MW in 2019 and 22,894 MW in 2020. [15] Bath County Pumped Storage Station is the largest such facility in the world.
Texas electricity generation by type, 2001-2024. This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Texas, sorted by type and name.In 2022, Texas had a total summer capacity of 148,900 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 525,562 GWh. [2]

Storage capacity is the amount of energy extracted from an energy storage device or system; usually measured in joules or kilowatt-hours and their multiples, it may be given in number of hours of electricity production at power plant nameplate capacity; when storage is of primary type (i.e., thermal or pumped-water), output is sourced only with ...
Fayette County Reservoir is a power station cooling reservoir on Cedar Creek in the Colorado River basin, [1] 3 miles west of Fayetteville, Texas and 10 miles east of La Grange, Texas. [2] The reservoir was created in 1978 when a dam was built on the creek to provide a cooling pond for the Fayette Power Project which provides electrical ...
