                                According to the U.S. Department of Energy, pumped storage hydropower accounts for 96% of all utility-scale energy storage in the US, acting like a giant battery. Understanding what is used to make long-term energy is crucial for supporting the reliability and sustainability of our evolving electric grids as they integrate more renewable power.
