Pumped storage plants can operate with seawater, although there are additional challenges compared to using fresh water, such as saltwater corrosion and barnacle growth. Inaugurated in 1966, the 240 MW in France can partially work as a pumped-storage station. When high tides occur at off-peak hours, the turbines can be used to pump more seawater into the reservoir than the high tide would have naturally brought in. It is the only large-scale power plant of its kind.
[pdf] It is scheduled to go live before 2030 and will mainly undertake peak shaving, valley filling, and energy storage tasks for the power grid in East China, the firm added. The power station will include six reversible hydro generators with a capacity of 400,000 kW per unit, GCL Energy noted.
[pdf] With 23 new utility-scale projects announced in 2024 alone [4], Brazil's adopting storage faster than you can say "Pelé." Laayoune Haichen's partnership with Eletrobras created the continent's first solar-storage microgrid in Amazonas – keeping lights on even during monsoon season.
