What is the Estonian pumped-hydro energy storage project?
The Estonian Pumped-Hydro Energy Storage project is expected to provide 6 gigawatt-hours of storage capacity for renewables following a single operating cycle of 12 hours. Energy will be generated by pumping water into Paldiski Bay from underground reservoirs.
Will energiasalv build a large-scale pumped-hydro energy storage project in Estonia?
Energiasalv gets the go-ahead for constructing a large-scale pumped-hydro energy storage project in Estonia, Zero Terrain. Sustainability-focused energy storage project operator, Energiasalv, has received an official permit to continue with the construction of a 550-megawatt underground pumped-hydro energy storage facility in Paldiski, Estonia.
When will Estonia's pumped hydro storage facility be built?
Work on the facility is planned to start in the summer of 2024. Tallinn-based Energiasalv announced it secured the construction permit from the country's Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority to build a 550 MW pumped hydro storage facility in Paldiski, on the Pakri Peninsula of northwestern Estonia.
Could Estonia build a nuclear plant?
Eesti Energia, Estonia’s state-owned energy company, considered building a nuclear plant are part of a joint venture with Latvia and Lithuania during the first decade of this century. The plant would have been located near the Soviet-built – and now decommissioned –Visaginas nuclear plant in Lithuania. The plans, however, were not realized.
What is pumped hydro energy storage?
At the proposed scale, the pumped hydro energy storage is the cheapest option for energy storage. Estonian Pumped-Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) is an energy storage device that stores renewable electricity using the potential energy of water.
Why do we need a 500 megawatt pumped storage power plant?
The 500-megawatt pumped storage power plant is needed for balancing storage for current and upcoming uncontrolled renewable energy capacities. Plant operation will help to use more locally produced renewable electricity inland.
