The existing 161,000 megawatts (MW) of pumped storage capacity supports power grid stability, reducing overall system costs and sector emissions. A bottom up analysis of energy stored in the world''s pumped storage reservoirs using IHA''s stations database estimates total storage to be up to 9,000 gigawatt hours (GWh).
