The number of new pumped hydropower energy storage projects coming online worldwide in 2022 was 15, which was the highest amount since 2013.
Electrochemical energy storage took over mechanical storage in 2021, but the decommissioning of nuclear power plants after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 and the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on battery production resulted in the peaks in pumped hydro energy storage witnessed in 2013, 2021, and 2022.
