Presently, 11 Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) with an aggregate installed capacity of 15,870 MW are under construction Table- I. In addition, 6 PSPs with an aggregate installed capacity of 8,140 MW have been concurred/appraised by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and are yet to be taken up for construction Table-II.
The measures taken in respect of timely environmental and statutory clearances for Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) include:
Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) support the integration of renewable energy by storing surplus energy during off-peak periods and supplying power during peak demand. They provide long-duration energy storage, balancing power and ancillary grid services such as frequency regulation, voltage support and black start capability, thereby supporting grid stability, reliability and higher renewable energy penetration.
Central Government has taken a number of measures to encourage greater private sector participation in the development of PSPs as listed below:
