As Europe accelerates its transition to variable renewable energy, one challenge becomes increasingly critical: How do we balance the grid when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow? The answer, increasingly, is hydropower—and specifically, **pumped storage hydropower **(PSH), the world’s most mature and scalable long-duration energy storage technology. That’s why Statkraft, Europe’s largest […]
In a significant vote of confidence for its hydropower expertise, Voith has been awarded a follow-on contract to modernize pump-turbine units at a key pumped storage hydropower facility in Spain—reinforcing the company’s role in advancing grid stability, renewable integration, and sustainable energy infrastructure across Europe. This contract builds on Voith’s successful prior engagement at the […]
In the race to decarbonize global energy systems, hydropower isn’t legacy infrastructure—it’s the flexible, reliable backbone that enables higher penetration of wind and solar. And leading that transformation in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets requires vision, expertise, and execution excellence.That’s why Voith Hydro has appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer […]
Big win for UK engineering: SPP Pumps has been selected to supply a critical fire water pump package for NZT Power—a landmark project targeting status as the **world’s first gas-fired power station with integrated carbon capture and storage **(CCS). Announced on April 21, 2026, this contract isn’t just about pumps. It’s about enabling the next […]
LG Electronics is establishing a research facility in Alaska, USA to accelerate its research and development efforts in the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). The new research lab comes under the newly formed Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research (CAHR), a collaboration between LG and local universities. LG will operate the state-of-the-art […]
Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have led a study to determine the potential of pumped storage hydropower as an efficient way to store large amounts of energy and improve grid resiliency throughout Alaska. Argonne partnered with the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for the project funded by DOE’s […]
The pump industry is an enormous industry and plays a critical role in almost every facet of our lives. Water supply, fire protection, oil & gas, power plants, waste water treatment, sump pumps at homes, processing chemicals, foods & pharmaceuticals, and many more.
