International Forum on Pumped Storage Hydropower International Forum on Pumped Storage Hydropower Paris | 9 - 10 September 2025 Global leaders influencing the energy transition At UNESCO headquarters this September, leaders united to supercharge pumped storage and fast-track 1,500 GW by 2030 At the International Forum on Pumped Storage Hydropower, global leaders convened to unlock the full potential of pumped storage. Building on the momentum of the 2021 Forum — which featured leaders like Mark Carney, Canada`s Prime Minister, and former US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm — this year`s event turned global ambition into high-impact action. At COP29 58 countries nations joined forces to commit to the Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge. This ambitious target: 1,500 GW of energy storage, doubling grid investments, and 25M km of new grid infrastructure by 2030, sets a clear path toward a resilient, connected, and clean energy future. By 2030, wind and solar power are set to overtake gas and coal as the main source of electricity. While this is welcome, to be efficient, systems must find ways of storing the excess energy when the variable supply exceeds demand. Despite Pumped Storage providing around 90% of global long duration energy storage capacity, and having relatively small environmental footprints, there is little public awareness or understanding of what Pumped Storage is and why it is so essential to the energy transition.  |
