The Global Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) Market Report 2015
![](/report_cover/7967/global-pumped-hydro-storage-phs-market-report-2015_en.gif)
An essential attribute of any nation’s electric power system is grid reliability - ensuring that electric generation matches electric demand in real-time. The primary challenge in ensuring reliability is that electricity has no shelf life - it must be generated when needed - and electricity demand continually changes, especially between daytime periods of peak demand and night-time periods of low demand. Due to the technology-cost gap of other storage technologies and other factors such as the growing penetration of renewables, pumped hydro is resurging globally: in China and Europe, and it is again being considered in Japan, Canada, and the US.
