Interestingly, there is a high concentration of these in the Eastern part of the state – close to many of the brown coal-fired power stations. Interconnection with other regions, demand management and local storage are needed in order to ensure stable and affordable supply into the future. Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is the most mature and widely deployed electricity storage technology worldwide – 97% of globally installed grid storage is pumped hydro.Support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) for PHES site searching and the development of cost models for PHES is gratefully acknowledged.3 filesapplication/vnd.google-earth.kmzapplication/vnd.ms-excelen-AUAuthor/s retain copyright
