Pumped Power: securing Europe’s energy future

Pumped Power - securing Europe’s energy future is a joint policy and advocacy initiative, delivered through a partnership between IHA and Eurelectric, focused on building a reliable and secure decarbonised electricity grid in Europe.

It is a cornerstone of the Hydropower sector’s 2024–2025 Pumped Storage campaign.

The core product of Pumped Power is a joint position paper, The Paris Pledge, which aims to address the electricity storage gap at the European level. This pledge is set to be published in June 2025 and will be delivered in person to EU Commissioners and key policymakers in September 2025.
