Honduras hydropower energy storage industry
Closed-loop pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) has fewer emissions associated with its development, construction and use than other leading options for large-scale energy storage.
Pumped storage hydropower has grown rapidly over the last fifty years, first to store energy produced by thermal and nuclear sta-tions during off-peak hours when demand is low, and since the turn of the century to deal with the intermittency of wind and solar power generation.
Despite progress in the development of battery technolo-gy for large-scale energy storage and research in alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, such as sodium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and solid-state batteries, it is unlikely that any of these technologies will be cost-competitive with pump storage hydro in the near future.
By 2023 the global installed capacity of pumped storage projects had reached 179 GW, 28.4% of which was in China, 15.3% in Japan and 12.4% in the United States. The International Hydropower Association (IHA) estimates that pumped storage accounts for over 94% of the world's long duration energy storage capacity.

An Emerging Market For Storage SchemesChallenges, Barriers and Emerging OpportunitiesRecommendations from The IADBThere are several reasons behind the lack of development of PSH in LAC. Firstly, there are many hydroelectric power plants with large reservoirs that provide robust energy storage capacity. The region has developed many major hydroelectric power plants in the past decades, with reservoirs that allow short- medium- and long-term energy storage, andSee more on hydropower-dams Blackridge Research & Consulting
