Working Group Resources — PEN@Hydropower

As part of the activities within our Working Groups, a roundtable discussion was held at the Reykjavik University, moderated by Prof. Elena Vagnoni from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) to discuss the role of hydropower in providing #flexibility in current and future power systems and to explore the potential of #pumpedstorage in the European hydropower landscape.
Alberto Santolin highlighted Italy's 53 GWh pumped storage capacity, emphasizing the creation of a water/energy "smart grid" for energy and environmental management.Prof. Ioannis Anagnostopoulos stressed the need for more hydropower plants and optimal energy storage, while Prof. Juan Ignacio Pérez-Díaz outlined Spain's 25 planned pumped-storage projects in various permitting phases.
