About hydropower

Hydropower has three faces: run-of-river plants produce as much as the river carries, reservoirs produce when the system needs them, and pumped storage is storage — it uses energy to pump water uphill and recovers it later, with losses.

That is why pumped storage does NOT count towards the renewable share: the energy it recovers is the energy put into the pumps beforehand, wherever that came from. Run-of-river and reservoir hydro, on the other hand, are renewable.

The calculator uses the solar radiation where you live, your household's consumption and local energy prices to estimate the cost, the yearly saving and the payback period.Open the page →
