The number of upper storage sites located in our initial survey is 1769, with an approximate energy storage potential of 6779 GWh approximately 100 times larger than the amount of storage required to support a 100% renewable electricity grid for Queensland. This large number provides some confidence that there will be a good number of technically feasible PHES sites. 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.4 filesapplication/vnd.google-earth.kmzapplication/vnd.ms-excelen-AUAuthor/s retain copyright
