Recommendation 32

32 Paragraph: 92

Pumped-storage hydropower could play a valuable role in partially fulfilling medium-duration storage needs.

Conclusion
Pumped-storage hydropower could play a valuable role in partially fulfilling medium-duration storage needs. We heard from the pumped-storage hydropower industry that a pipeline of projects is at various stages of development but will require additional support mechanisms to proceed. Projects could take seven or more years to construct, so final investment decisions are urgent if they are to be ready by 2035.
