🙅♂️ Myth! Hydropower plants are incredibly flexible and can adjust their electricity generation to match demand. This means they can quickly ramp up or down production, making them an ideal partner for renewable energy sources like wind and solar, which can be intermittent. At #Store2Hydro, we're working on optimizing this flexibility even further by integrating reversible pump turbine (RPT) technology into existing hydropower infrastructure. 💧🔄 What other hydropower myths have you heard?

Clean energy, made in Europe? This is the success story we like to tell. ️     Over the last two years, we have diversified energy supplies. Just in the third quarter of 2024:      ☀️ Solar power generation hit a record high, reaching 87 TWh – a 23% jump!  🌬️ Offshore wind generation increased by 21%, while onshore generation rose by 2%.  🌊 Hydropower plants improved their output by 13%.  ⛽ Fossil fuel electricity generation hit a historical low at 165 TWh, dropping by 11%.      Now it's time to up the ante!     From fusion to enhanced geothermal, to name a few, clean energy made in Europe will give us more independence and bring energy prices further down.      In February, we will present a new affordable energy plan to boost investments in next-generation clean energy technologies.      #EuropeanUnion

💡 Did you know? Hydropower doesn’t just keep the lights on—it can store energy for when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow! 🌞🌬️⚡ In fact, hydropower is like the “battery” of renewable energy. But instead of lithium, it uses water, gravity, and some serious engineering magic. 🎩💧 At #Store2Hydro, we’re working to supercharge this “battery” with innovative reversible pump turbine technology and digital twins to make energy storage smarter and greener. Who knew being a water geek could be so cool? 😎🌍 #Hydropower #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Store2Hydro

The nation of 10 million ran on nothing but wind, solar and hydropower. 🌊 🍃 ☀ How did Portugal make this happen? It committed to building renewables early and often, pledging a 2050 deadline for net-zero carbon emissions in 2016. To reach its climate goals, Portugal has focused on diversification of renewable resources; instead of depending primarily on wind, water or sun, it blends each into the portfolio and finds ways to make them more complementary.
