Botswana’s seasonal rivers, like the Thamalakane, offer untapped potential for “hydro-mechanical storage” – a fancy term for using river currents to charge modular robots. These aquatic droids can store energy during wet seasons and release it during droughts. [pdf]
Pumped storage plants can operate with seawater, although there are additional challenges compared to using fresh water, such as saltwater corrosion and barnacle growth. Inaugurated in 1966, the 240 MW in France can partially work as a pumped-storage station. When high tides occur at off-peak hours, the turbines can be used to pump more seawater into the reservoir than the high tide would have naturally brought in. It is the only large. [pdf]

The city's pilot project at Weg Naar Zee combines solar panels with lithium-ion batteries, reducing diesel use by 40% during peak hours. That's like taking 1,200 cars off the road annually, but with fewer exhaust fumes and more coconut water breaks. [pdf]
On July 25, 2025, Inner Mongolia Hangchu Technology Co., Ltd. officially released the bidding announcement for the EPC general contracting of the 100000 kW/600000 kWh grid side independent energy storage demonstration project. [pdf]
The following page lists all power stations that are larger than 1,000 in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW, and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional lists, listed at the end of the page. [pdf]
