We support any project where pump/turbines or large pumps are involved. Our team has provided global pumped storage-related hydroelectric services for more than 25 years and brings a deep understanding of all aspects of pumped storage hydroelectric plants.
As wind and solar energy production rises, it drives the need for large-scale energy storage. Pumped storage hydropower implemented by Black & Veatch is a safe, efficient, long-life, and proven solution that facilitates the shift to renewables by balancing generation with demand and supporting electric grid efficiency and stability.
With more than 25 years of experience on pumped-storage facilities around the world, Black & Veatch can fill any project role, including Engineer of Record and Owner''s Engineer, providing critical technical capabilities and full turnkey EPC.
With our leadership in the development of renewable energy projects, we are uniquely positioned and qualified to support the integration of pumped storage in a client''s overall power portfolio. We bring significant experience in:
Renewable energy sources are key to fueling our power grid. However, renewable sources such as solar and wind can be variable, and keeping the power supply in balance with demand is pivotal to keeping the electric grid stable and reliable.
With Absaroka Energy LLC in Montana, Black & Veatch is helping to plan a pumped storage scheme that will store and deliver renewable energy while balancing out the ebbs and flows of supply and demand. It''s a closed loop system that works like a rechargeable water battery, and its benefits can be significant.
California is a world leader in renewable energy. The state already sources nearly one-third of its power from renewables, mainly solar and wind. With recent legislation in place, renewable energy will increase to 60 percent or more by 2030. In tandem with renewable energy goals, the state is striving for 100 percent clean energy by 2045 to fight global warming.
The central purpose of this paper is to articulate the opportunities and challenges for large-scale energy storage in the evolving California grid. In particular, this paper examines the need for a decisive push to deploy pumped energy storage. The lead times for such projects are long. Having projects operationally starting in the mid 2020s requires clearer policy and market signals today.
Black & Veatch has assembled a staff with decades of experience and expertise in the fundamental design and care of hydroelectric generators.
Whether it''s for drinking, irrigation, flood control, recreation or hydropower, water is always the most important component.
The hydropower-in-a-box solution features a modular design, a unique foundation approach and readily available turbine generator technology.
Black & Veatch''s FERC hydropower project licensing team provides the regulatory, environmental and engineering expertise.
Our LSA process has proven to be highly effective in organizing a successful FERC relicensing effort.
We are a global leader in both energy and water facilities, and clients worldwide have looked to us for hydropower solutions for more than 40 years.
For a dam to safely serve its intended purposes, each component must operate harmoniously with the entire reservoir and watershed system.
Achieve higher operating efficiencies, meet your sustainability objectives, reduce your carbon footprint, and maintain system reliability.
We focus on key tenets of effective asset management programs and assist hydropower organizations with solutions to their diverse needs.
We offer a safe, efficient, long-life, and proven solution by balancing generation with demand and supporting electric grid efficiency and stability.

In eight years, Australia wants to be four-fifths powered by renewables. Solar and wind investment is pouring in. But to firm the renewables and overcome the intermittency, we need overnight energy storage. That''s why there''s so much interest in pumped hydro.
At its simplest, pumped hydro involves two dams, one high on a hill and one down in a valley, with pipes and turbines connecting them. You store electricity by pumping water uphill to the upper reservoir on sunny and windy days – and turn it back into power at night or during calm or cloudy days by letting the water flow back downhill through a turbine. Think of this system as a giant "gravity battery", where electricity is turned into gravitational potential energy and back again.
The question now is: where are the best locations? Last year, we released a global atlas of more than 600,000 greenfield locations for pumped hydro. These are sites where there is no existing reservoir. About 4,000 of those are in Australia, including the site for Queensland''s newly announced 5 gigawatt Pioneer-Burdekin pumped hydro scheme.
The world doesn''t have much energy storage right now – and the storage we do have is almost all pumped hydro, co-located with hydroelectric schemes on rivers.
What''s new is that we have found vast opportunities for these projects without new dams on rivers.
We need a lot more energy storage than we now have to support solar and wind. Grid-scale batteries are useful for short-term storage – minutes to hours – but pumped hydro excels at overnight and longer storage.
