Spain is spending €265 million on 11 pumped hydro projects to add 49.9 GWh of storage. #pumpedhydro

A hydroelectric power station the size of the Sydney Opera House is starting to take shape almost a kilometre underground in New South Wales’ Snowy Mountains. #snowy2 #pumpedhydro #hydroelectric #renewables #megaprojects #energytransition

Congratulations.
The Global Pumped Hydro Atlas rates the Sloy site at A, very good, for 15GWh - 18 hours duration @ 833 MW - so a far more powerful & costly upgrade could be invested in for development here.

Sutton hasn't learned the lesson -
🐘MISPLACED – South is the WRONG island

“why wouldn’t you just ramp down the South Island’s conventional hydro generation to save hydro energy for later instead of powering” Sutton’s pumps?
