    From Germany

    Pumped storage machines by Voith


    Voith‘s pump storage plants work from the start
    Clean, flexible and renewable: Pumpstorage power plants offer a highly reliable technology
    which can perferctly level grid fluctuations and deliver energy immediately. In a world
    of energy increasingly dominated by wind and solar, pumpstorage power plants are indispensible.
    Over a period of decades Voith has developed a cutting-edge technology.
    In 1937, Voith developed the first large
    pump-turbine, which operated both as
    a turbine for energy generation and, in
    the reverse direction, as a pump.
    The first pumped storage station in
    Germany was installed in 1908 in the
    Voith research and development building,
    the Brunnenmühle in Heidenheim,
    Germany....

    Also

    Schluchseewerk AG, a 50% subsidiary of RWE Power, operates five pumped-storage power plants (PSPs) in the Black Forest with a total installed capacity of 1,836 MW. As contractually agreed, RWE Power can dispatch half of the installed generating sets and, hence, 50% of the installed capacity of Schluchseewerk AG.
