Renewable energy leader Drax Group has secured development consent from the Scottish Government for its ground-breaking plans to build a new c.£500m underground pumped storage hydro plant at its existing Cruachan facility in Argyll. Scotland''s First Minister Humza Yousaf called on the UK Government to "provide an
The pumped hydro system was identified as the most prominent sustainable energy storage technology for renewable energy penetration and reliability. In comparison, the capital cost and CO 2 intensity for Pumped hydro and battery range from 25 to 50 $/kWh and 165–1443 $/kWh and 8–16 kg/MJ and 5–50 kg/MJ, respectively.
The new power station would be built within a new, hollowed-out cavern which would be large enough to fit Big Ben on its side, to the east of Drax''s existing 440MW pumped storage hydro station. More than a million tonnes of rock would be excavated to create the cavern and other parts of the power station.
