Pumped storage hydropower isn't without its headaches, especially when we talk about capacity. First up, finding the right spot for these systems is a real puzzle. You need the perfect spot where the use of gravity works in your favour, crucial for making the turbine and generator do their thing efficiently.
Pumped storage hydropower is a type of hydroelectric power generation that plays a significant role in both energy storage and generation. At its core, you've got two reservoirs, one up high, one down low. When electricity demand is low, excess energy from the grid is used to pump water from the lower to the upper reservoir.

Thus, the predicament facing the Saudi Arabia power sector is how to reduce the requirement and investment for new thermal peak plants in order to meet the rapidly increasing short-term peak demands. To ensure a reliable power supply, the system needs expensive peaking units to operate just for a few hours during the whole year.
