6 FAQs about [Swedish pumped hydro storage]
Does Sweden have pumped hydro storage?
Globally pumped hydro storage represents 94% of all energy storage capacity. Sweden has some conventional pumped hydro storages (PHS), the largest with a capacity of 55 MW, but in relation to other parts of the world, PHS has not been that widespread in the country.
What is pumped hydro storage?
Pumped Hydro Storage have developed a technology to enable reservoirs to be constructed underground. Disused mines are often considered an environmental burden and a scar on the landscape from industrialization. Through our innovative solution, they can instead become assets for large-scale energy storage.
Who owns pumped hydro storage Sweden AB?

What is pumped hydro?
Pumped Hydro’s innovative solution means a more efficient and flexible pumped storage technology, which is installed in disused mines. This way, the mines are transformed into a positive asset in the green transition. At the same time, costs can be kept down by using existing infrastructure such as access points to the power grid and roads.
Who is Sens - pumped hydro storage?
SENS, including Pumped Hydro Storage - developer of the next generation large scale energy storage We are reinventing the world's most mature type of energy storage and equips it with the tools necessary to become vital part of the energy transition.
What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a proven technology for energy storage. Today, more than 94% of the world’s total installed storage capacity is in the form of PSH. However, it is very difficult today to build new pumped hydropower.
