Water Batteries For Solar and Wind Power‍How It WorksWorld''s Biggest BatteryGravity Storage, Grid-ScaleFuture PotentialPolicy RecommendationsFurther ReadingLatest StatisticsPumped hydropower storage uses the force of gravity to generate electricity using water that has been previously pumped from a lower source to an upper reservoir. The water is pumped to the higher reservoir at times of low demand and low electricity prices. At times of high demand - and higher prices - the water is then released to drive a turbineSee more on hydropower World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews[PDF]

In 2009, world pumped storage generating capacity was 104 GW, while other sources claim 127 GW, which comprises the vast majority of all types of utility grade electric storage. The European Union had 38.3 GW net capacity (36.8% of world capacity) out of a total of 140 GW of hydropower and representing 5% of total net electrical capacity in the EU. Japan had 25.5 GW net capacity (24.5% of world capacity).
