The Goldendale Energy Storage Project is a cornerstone of both Washington''s and the broader Pacific Northwest''s clean energy economy. It will provide quality jobs and rural economic development while helping Washington and the region meet its clean energy goals with minimal environmental impacts.
To provide background, this project is a proposed pumped storage hydropower system that would be located on the Upper Mokelumne River. The project will pump water from Salt Springs Reservoir up to Lower
Pumped storage hydropower facilities store and generate electricity by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. Morning and midday When electricity demand is lower and SRP has excess supply available, the turbines spin backward to pump the water back into the upper reservoir so it can be used again to generate power.
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PS) is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity, providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with more than 400 projects in operation.
At night, water is pumped uphill to the higher reservoir, then sent back down through electricity-generating turbines when energy demand peaks or renewable resources can't generate electricity, helping to ensure grid stability during system-stressing events like record-hot summers. Pumped storage projects, however, can't just be built anywhere.
So the majority of the nearly 100 pumped storage projects currently in the preliminary phase with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are throughout the mountainous Western U.S.
“What makes pumped storage so unique and valuable in the energy transition is its ability to provide additional power when it's needed most,” said Malcolm Woolf, president and CEO of the National Hydropower Association. Pumped storage requires two water reservoirs, one above the other.
Supporters of the project, however, argue that pumped storage is the cheapest and most reliable way to provide the electricity storage needed for the clean energy transition and will help stimulate a rural community's economy. The project is far from being a done deal, said Matthew Shapiro, the company's CEO.
Closed loop pumped storage projects need water to work, usually by pumping aquifers or by bringing in surface water from a nearby river or lake (pumped storage can be built along a river, called open-loop, but such projects have received less support because they require dams, which have drawn fierce pushback in recent years ).
