Re: CBC news, new Acela trains, first look

Pumped storage plants provide peak power. In the 1970s, that was needed during the daytime. As situations changed, peak power may be needed at a different time of day.

But it is highly unlikely that demand will be totally level with generation capacity, all day long. So peak power is likely to remain a requirement. And pumped storage does that more cheaply than a gas-fired peak power generator.
