Mine Storage is developing pumped storage hydropower systems using abandoned underground mines, providing a new method to overcome geographical and environmental limits of traditional pumped storage and enabling large-scale renewable energy storage.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now tap into a ready-built energy storage site by converting abandoned mines into hydropower facilities. That opens renewable storage to new locations and slashes the wait on site permissions and construction.
