"The world is rapidly moving towards a renewable energy future. To support the
transition, we must prepare back-up energy supplies for times when solar panels
and wind turbines are not producing enough electricity.
One solution is to build more pumped hydro energy storage. But where should
this expansion happen?
Our new research identified more than 900 suitable locations around the world:
at former and existing mining sites. Some 37 sites are in Australia.
Huge open-cut mining pits would be turned into reservoirs to hold water for
renewable energy storage. It would give the sites a new lease on life and help
shore up the world’s low-emissions future."
