| Since 2000 only one new pumped storage hydropower project has been constructed in the United States. In order to increase the future opportunity for pumped storage development, reductions in cost and scale are necessary. Historically, pumped storage projects have required large capacity to overcome the fixed costs associated with custom engineering of complex underground structures with associated geological risk. The Obermeyer Hydro submersible pump-turbine offers a standard, scalable solution which reduces underground construction and risk. |
