The planned power plant in Kaunertal, costing two billion euros, will also serve as a gigantic electricity storage facility for wind and solar energy. But there are alternatives in the form of decentralized battery parks. Tyrolean politics provides some interesting figures.
Hardly a session of the state parliament goes by without the topics of climate protection and energy transition being debated in some form or another. The black-red coalition preaches the expansion of hydropower as an irrefutable cornerstone of the future supply, apart from fossil fuels such as coal and oil.

This type of pumped storage is considered a key technology for storing large amounts of energy seasonally and not only on a daily basis, and also for stabilizing the electricity grid.
