Hydropower is the forgotten giant of low-carbon electricity. Hydropower is the backbone of low-carbon electricity generation, providing almost half of it worldwide today. Hydropower''s contribution is 55% higher than nuclear''s and larger than that of all other renewables combined, including wind, solar PV, bioenergy and geothermal.
As such, the variable cost of pumped storage hydropower is relative and strongly linked to energy prices on the market. At 0.118 EUR/kWh, variable costs are covered. In addition, we have to consider operating costs like wear and tear of equipment, personnel and other costs. The operating costs are not linked to the price of electricity.
