Abstract

The paper is focusing to the hydro pumped storage power plants perspectives in SEERC
region, investigating their present market position, that has clearly been jeopardized by low
electricity market prices and small peak – off peak electricity market price differences. Lack
of positive market signals could stop the development of new hydro pumped storage power
plants projects in the region, and prevent the existing ones in achieving expected financial
goals. Paper is analysing future power system operational needs in high renewable sources
penetration environment, proposing a new perspectives for existing and new hydro pumped
storage power plants in SEERC region
