A major advantage of pumped hydro over batteries is that the expected life of pumped hydro is more than 100 years, or effectively unlimited with appropriate maintenance. Batteries may have a lower upfront cost than pumped hydro and be easier to approve and install; however, they are likely to require greater management over time.
Exploratory tunnelling for SSE Renewables'' Coire Glas project, the UK''s first large-scale pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) scheme to be developed in 40 years, has been completed.
