Pumped storage hydropower is a form of clean energy storage that is ideal for electricity grids reliant on solar and wind power. The technology absorbs surplus energy at times of low demand and releases it w.

Pumped storage plants can operate with seawater, although there are additional challenges compared to using fresh water, such as saltwater corrosion and barnacle growth. Inaugurated in 1966, the 240 MW in France can partially work as a pumped-storage station. When high tides occur at off-peak hours, the turbines can be used to pump more seawater into the reservoir than the high tide would have naturally brought in. It is the only large-scale power plant of its kind.
