An energy storage project that has been dubbed the world's smallest version of the Snowy Mountains hydroelectric power plant is taking shape in Western Australia.Pumped hydro is long-term energy storage involving the transfer of water between two reservoirsExperts say long-term energy storage critical to making power systems 100 per cent renewable

Pumped hydro projects typically work by pumping water uphill from one dam to another during periods when power is cheap.
