Water battery stores energy for 7 hours
The article discusses the pumped storage project for electrical energy in Jordan, which is considered a strategic initiative to enhance national energy security. The project, with a total capacity of 450 megawatts and the ability to supply the grid for up to 7 hours, aims to improve the stability of the electrical system, facilitate the utilization of renewable energy sources, and reduce reliance on imported fuel. It relies on a closed system that uses surplus electricity from renewable sources during the day to pump water into an upper reservoir. During peak demand, the water is released from the upper reservoir back to the lower reservoir to generate electricity. The project is expected to contribute to reducing electricity sector costs, supporting grid stability, creating jobs, and represents an important step toward increasing dependence on local energy and minimizing fluctuations in solar and wind energy production. It will be implemented through a public-private partnership via a build-operate-own model.
