Large-scale energy storage will make that possible, and pumped hydro is one of the most proven methods. In conventional pumped hydro systems, water is stored in two reservoirs. When power supply is high or demand low, excess electricity is used to pump water uphill to the top reservoir (thus ''charging'' the system).

Pumped storage is cheap if you have a good reservoir pairing with only a small dam needed, and extremely expensive if you don''t, and have to build perimeter walls. Permitting needs to be streamlined and money traced during the process. My objection is when oil companies fund the "environmentalists" to block these programs that would
How Efficient Is Pumped Hydro Storage? Pumped hydro storage is 80% efficient, which means that 20% of its power is lost during a cycle. A facility with two reservoirs roughly the size of two Olympic swimming pools with a 1,640-foot height difference could store up to 3.5 megawatt hours of electricity. What Are the Challenges of Pumped Hydro

Pumped storage is by far the most common large-scale grid energy storage available, and the United States Department of Energy Global Energy Storage Database estimates that, as of 2020, PSH accounts for approximately 95 percent of all active recorded storage installations worldwide, with a total deployed capacity of more than 181 GW.
This is a result of the energy lost pumping the water up into the reservoir. However, pumped storage is economical because of a net increase in revenue. This is because the electricity used to pump the water is less expensive than the electricity sold at the time of peak energy demand.
Although pumped storage is able to store large amounts of energy and is the main method of storing energy today, it has many issues. Despite the fact that it has the largest capacity of any other storage types, it is limited because the facilities can only exist in areas with a very specific topography.
If the construction costs are closer to $15 billion than the estimated $7 billion, then the cost per installed kW would be around $2,000/kW, which is approximately what pumped storage schemes cost these days.
The cost of constructing a pumped storage plant is assumed to be $10 million in the first year, $20 million in the second year, $30 million in the third to sixth years, and $10 million in the seventh year. The combined-cycle plant construction is assumed to take a year and, will come on-line at, the same time as the pumped storage plant.
It is necessary to calculate what is expected from a market in terms of price fluctuations to make a pumped-storage hydropower plant investment viable by estimating market value (possible annual sales on a market) by historical price data and connecting it to the annuity of costs of pumped storages.
