IIT Roorkee Report Advances Pumped Storage Hydropower for India's Net Zero Goals
A report by IIT Roorkee outlines pathways for pumped storage hydropower (PSP) to aid India's Net Zero 2070 objectives. It emphasizes the role of PSP in renewable energy integration and grid stability, highlighting financial viability and innovative configurations.

The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has published a report titled "Paving the Way Forward for Pumped Storage Hydropower Development in India," focusing on long-duration energy storage to support India's Net Zero 2070 targets. Key recommendations include the exploration of innovative PSP configurations, such as sea-based systems and the use of abandoned mines for energy storage.
The study evaluates various business models for PSP integration and emphasizes the need for coordinated policy support and stakeholder engagement for effective deployment. The findings aim to strengthen India's energy resilience, reduce import dependency, and advance indigenous technology in the energy sector. This report will serve as a vital reference for policymakers and stakeholders in fostering sustainable energy solutions.
