What is Pumped-Storage Hydropower. Learn how pumped storage hydropower acts as energy storage for the electrical grid. (Video by the Department of Energy) PSH works by pumping and releasing water between two reservoirs at different elevations. During times of excess power and low energy prices, water is pumped to an upper reservoir for storage.
PSH facilities store and generate electricity by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. Vital to grid reliability, today, the U.S. pumped storage hydropower fleet includes about 22 gigawatts of electricity-generating capacity and 550 gigawatt-hours of energy storage with facilities in every region of the country.

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. The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
