Global Pumped Hydro Storage Market- Key Developments

In April 2020, Enel Green Power was awarded 68 MW of new renewable capacity for two wind projects and 38.3 MW of nominal capacity from the repowering of operational hydroelectric plants in the second renewable auction launched by Italian state-owned energy service company GSE (Gestore Servizi Energetici).
The company participated in the 500-MW tender for new wind and solar projects and the 98.5-MW tender for renovations of renewable plants with a capacity exceeding 1 MW.
