The US Department of Energy has identified 1,800 sites in Alaska that could be suitable for new pumped hydro energy storage systems.
A study conducted by researchers at Argonne and NREL found that renewable energy can lower the cost and emissions of electricity driven by the high cost of delivering diesel fuel to Alaska’s remote areas.
Pumped storage hydropower stores energy to provide constant power during intermittent weather in Alaska
Alaska is warming faster than any other state. Pumped storage hydropower has the potential to integrate more wind and solar into the energy grid to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions driving climate change in the state.
Scientists study the role of pumped storage hydropower in Alaska's clean energy future.
