This is exactly what we need to transition to those power sources- the article doesn’t explain how this plant works so I think there’s a lot of confusion on what this plant exactly does. This plant is basically a huge battery- by using excess electricity on the grid to pump water into this reservoir it can release water to power it’s turbines when demand exceeds supply. With solar and wind energy storage solutions like this are absolutely necessary and are basically the best option that we currently have.
