6 Frequently Asked Questions about “London Pumped Hydro Properties”

Can London's finance community make a positive impact on hydropower development?

With the forthcoming release of a UK Taxonomy by the Green Technical Advisory Group (GTAG) – an expert group tasked with creating a framework for defining environmentally sustainable investments – there is an opportunity for London's finance community to make a positive impact on hydropower development in the UK and globally.

Can pumped storage hydropower be built in the UK?

Pictured: An atlas developed Australian National University identified numerous potential sites for building new pumped storage hydropower capacity in the UK.

How will pumped hydro storage help decarbonise the UK's electricity supply?

Pumped hydro storage will play an essential role in decarbonising the UK's electricity supply by integrating renewable energy and maintaining security of supply. As part of the Coire Glas project, SSE Renewables will introduce a community investment programme, delivering financial support to a diverse range of local projects.

Can the UK build more hydropower projects?

In response to the recent gas crisis, UK Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Kwasi Kwarteng confirmed his government is “ looking into ” the potential for building more hydropower projects. With the UK holding the Presidency of COP26, the significance of this potential gear shift cannot be overstated.

What is pumped hydro-electric storage?

Pumped hydro-electric storage is a proven zero carbon technology for providing dispatchable medium-duration energy storage. It is the oldest form of large-scale energy storage and works by using geographical features to store energy as raised water.
