India is set to use hydroelectric pump storage systems to store up to 10,000MW of intermittently generated renewable power, according to SD Dubey, chairman of Central Electricity Authority. KOLKATA: The government has also decided to build a new nuclear power plant at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu state and plans to construct another one at Kalpakkam near Chennai. The so-called "pumped" storage systems can hold more than 1,000MW for a fraction of the cost of lithium-ion batteries.
