Romanian pumped storage hydropower station

Construction has not started. The Romanian state is looking for investors. The strategic environmental assessment (SEA) procedure is at the beginning, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure did not start yet, as the project consultants admitted publicly on 17 November 2010. In 2016 the Romanian government stated that several smaller projects were being considered instead. In 2019, Romania’s Forecast and Strategy National Committee (CNSP) started a procedure for finding a privat. The Tarnița–Lăpuștești Hydropower Plant is a proposed hydroelectric pumped-storage project on the Someșul Cald River in Cluj County, Romania. If built it would be the largest hydro-electric load balancing system in Romania. [pdf]

Lebanon power pumped hydropower storage

Yes, it’s been around since the 1920s, but pumped hydro still provides 94% of global energy storage capacity [1]. Lebanon’s mountainous terrain offers prime sites for closed-loop systems. Pro tip: Pair it with wind farms in the Bekaa Valley for 24/7 renewable power. [pdf]
