HYDRO PUMPED STORAGE IN AMFILOCHIA

the project hydro pump storage system nmp lohia is being developed by Turner Energy a company with a strong and successful presence in the field of renewable energy sources Vulcan Greece and abroad the project is located in the Western Greece region prefecture of at the law Karenia municipality of MP l'viyah Altos province it is characterized as a project of common interest because of its high importance to the European energy market both the technical studies and the environmental impact assessment are co-financed by the connecting Europe facility programme the project is also considered as a strategic investment for Greece hydro pump storage is considered as the only low-cost and effective method of mass energy storage in the world it is environmentally friendly and can be easily developed in areas where the topography and water reserves allow for it in Greece the public Power Corporation has built and operates two such plans this investment upgrades the existing infrastructure in power systems the project design includes the construction of two independent upper reservoirs Pagels and I use yo-yos while the existing cast rocky Lake will serve as a lower reservoir to independent energy production and pumping stations will be constructed I use yo-yos will host for reversible units and P goes to reversible units [Music] the system will store energy surplus during hours of reduce demand by pumping water from the lower to the upper reservoir during peak demand it will produce energy by utilizing the water's potential as it runs through turbines from the upper to the lower reservoir hydro pump storage systems safeguard the grid by providing ancillary services related to frequency and voltage stabilization alongside quick and flexible responses to sudden changes in electricity demand consequently the provision of ancillary services to the grid facilitates the penetration of intermittent renewables hydro pump storage systems contribute to a considerable reduction of pollutants in greenhouse gases since they did not use polluting fossil fuels during operations the areas that will host the facilities will benefit in various ways both by the increase of visitors and the development of new and existing infrastructure in addition around 900 people are expected to be employed directly and indirectly during the construction phase while a variety of machinery and raw materials will be utilized during operation local specialized an auxilary personnel will be employed in 60 new jobs in terms of public consultation a series of informative events and communication activities took place to inform the local community about the project [Music] hydro pump storage projects like all hydroelectric projects have very high domestic added value and contribute significantly to the Greek economy the project will provide flexibility and stability to the Greek electricity transmission and distribution network as well as significant ancillary services this investment is a crucial step towards Greece's non independence from imported fuels and can support the country's return on the growth path [Music]
