Stocarea energiei, cheia tranziției verzi. Ce se întâmplă în România și cât de importante sunt centralele cu acumulare prin pompaj

Energy storage is crucial for Romania's green transition, focusing on balancing electricity supply and demand. Pumped storage hydropower plants (PSH) are a reliable technology for energy storage, utilizing low-demand periods to pump water to higher reservoirs. Romania has existing PSH plants, with potential for new projects identified. However, economic and environmental risks challenge the development of these projects. While PSH offers long-term energy storage solutions, alternative technologies like battery storage and modernization of existing plants are also considered. A careful evaluation of environmental impacts and community consultation is essential for future developments.
