Pumped Storage Projects in Finland: Bridging the Renewable Energy Gap

You know how people say Finland's all about saunas and snowy forests? Well, there's another heat wave happening here – the race to store renewable energy. With wind power capacity jumping 30% in 2023 and solar installations doubling since 2020, Finland's facing a classic green energy dilemma. The lights are on, but nobody's home when the wind stops blowing after sunset. [2024-06-30 19:43]

How Pumped Water Storage Works: The 100-Year-Old Giant Battery Powering Our Future

How Pumped Water Storage Works: The 100-Year-Old Giant Battery Powering Our Future

Ever wondered how we store solar power when the sun isn't shining or wind energy when breezes die down? Well, pumped hydro storage - that's pumped water storage to non-engineers - has been quietly solving this problem since 1907. Today, it provides 94% of the world's energy storage capacity, dwarfing lithium-ion batteries and other flashy newcomers[3]. [2025-01-14 17:56]
