Opportunity Overview

Al Mujib pumped hydroelectric energy storage project

Al Mujib pumped hydroelectric energy storage project is a PPP initiative that aims to implement a closed-loop pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES) plant with an installed capacity of 450 MW and 7 full-load hours. The PHES technology operates by pumping water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir when low-cost surplus electricity is available, and then releasing it back to the lower reservoir through a turbine when the marginal cost of electricity generation is high.
