Honduras pumped energy storage project bidding
Recently, Windey, in collaboration with EQUINSA, a local Honduran power company, successfully won the EPC turnkey contract for Honduras’ first energy storage project—the Honduras Energy Storage Project—marking a critical breakthrough of "first bid, first win" in its international energy storage business.[Free PDF Download]

Project planning related to pumped storage
The Guide Book is designed to help (a) evaluate performance and benefits of pumped storage in a utility system, including dynamic benefits, (b) identify the physical characteristics of a site suitable for pumped-storage development, (c) establish the site's energy storage potential and installed capacity, (d) estimate capital cost, and annual operation and maintenance expense, and (e) conduct an economic analysis.[Free PDF Download]
FAQS about Project planning related to pumped storage
What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with over 400 projects in operation. The guidance note delivers recommendations to reduce risks and enhance certainty in project development and delivery.
What is pumped storage hydropower?
Enabling new pumped storage hydropower: A guidance note for key decision makers to de-risk pumped storage investments Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with over 400 projects in operation.
What are pumped storage solutions?
Pumped Storage solutions provide the necessary scale (large volume of energy storage) and have a long life cycle resulting in low cost of delivered energy over the life of the projects. Pumped storage projects account for over 95 per cent of installed global energy storage capacity, well ahead of lithium-ion and other battery types.
What is a pumped storage hydropower guidance note?
The guidance note delivers recommendations to reduce risks and enhance certainty in project development and delivery. It also equips key decision-makers with the tools to effectively guide the development of pumped storage hydropower projects and unlock crucial finance mechanisms.
What is a Pumped Storage Project (PSP)?
Pumped Storage Project are known as ‘the Water Battery’, which is an ideal complement to modern clean energy systems, as it can accommodate for the intermittency and seasonality of variable renewables such as wind and solar power. PSPs present a viable solution to integration issue of large RE capacities being planned to be added to National grid.
What is a pumped storage project (Os-PSP)?
The of-stream pumped storage projects (OS-PSPs) may supply power for future needs of our country without afecting the existing water/ irrigation system or river basin. They are expected to contribute a significant role in achieving RE capacity addition target.

Romanian pumped storage hydropower station
Romania is resuming the development of the Tarniţa Lăpuşteşti pumped hydro storage project, with a planned capacity of 500 MW to 1 GW. It will be the first installation of its kind in the country.[Free PDF Download]
FAQS about Romanian pumped storage hydropower station
Is Romania preparing a feasibility study for a pumped hydropower project?
The Romanian Ministry of Energy said this week that state-owned energy company Societatea de Administrare Participațiilor în Energie S.A. (SAPE SA) is currently conducting a feasibility study to resume the development of the Tarniţa Lăpuşteşti pumped hydropower project on the Someșul Cald River in Cluj County, northern Romania.
Will Romania get a reversible pumped hydropower plant?
Romania's company that manages the state's participation in energy companies (SAPE) is carrying out until August 8 pre-feasibility consultations in order to eventually contract a feasibility study on the Tarnita-Lapustesti reversible, pumped hydropower plant, the Ministry of Energy announced.
What is the feasibility study for pumped storage hydroelectric power plant?
The feasibility study will be contracted to establish solutions for the construction of a pumped storage hydroelectric power plant with a capacity between 500 – 1,000 MW.
