Assessment of Pumped Storage Plants in Romania

European statistics (EUROSTAT) showed that, until some years ago, Romania has been considered a country without pumped storage plants (PSPs). Currently, Romania appears to have a total capacity of 91.5 MW, installed in five pumped storage plants operated by Hidroelectrica within their hydropower developments portfolio. The paper presents the hydropower developments of PSPs type in Romania; and an evaluation of their electricity production with emphasis on the renewable component, as well.
