Pumped-storage hydropower: Key role in Serbia’s energy transition

Hydropower plants have long been a reliable backbone of energy systems, and their importance grows in the modern energy transition. As thermal power plants gradually phase out, intermittent sources like solar and wind occupy a larger share of the energy mix, creating a need for flexible, reliable balancing capacity. Pumped-Storage Hydropower (PSH) stands out because it can both produce and store energy, responding quickly to fluctuations in demand and generation. Unlike conventional hydropower, which only generates electricity, PSH plants also…
