NATPOWER’s energy storage system is based on well proven hydropower technology, but is not dependent on geographical locations or geological formations.
It provides a highly flexible electricity storage solution at the highest rate of efficiency, with outstanding long-term cost effectiveness, and a 50 year operational lifespan.
NATPOWER’s unprecedented storage flexibility is achieved by the separation of the power input, power output and energy capacity units. This highly sustainable storage plant is fully recyclable, meets or exceeds the strongest safety certifications and also addresses needs in times of disaster and emergencies, such as supplying water for firefighting purposes.
The unique Hydro Electricity Storage system is supported by an intelligent management system, providing smart control and protection to the Hydro Electricity Storage system.

More and more organizations and companies are requiring secure energy storage solutions. Whether to provide greater energy security throughout the critical infrastructure of micro-grids during local utility grid outages, to increase the energy autarky, to lower their energy cost or to further improve their environmental footprint, the applications and benefits are numerous and varied.
Energy Security is Paramount
The entire sector for critical infrastructure recognizes the importance of improved energy storage and availability to ensure energy independence and thus its energy security needs. Doing so does contribute to keep specific infrastructure – such as communication, medical functions, etc… - powered during outages, specifically if implemented as part of a micro grid.
Hydro Electricity Storage can augment fossil fuel generators traditionally used to keep power during outages. Additionally, and particularly connected with renewable energy generators (Solar, Wind,..), energy storage systems can maintain infrastructure until power comes back independently.
Adaptive sizes
Compact • Semi Compact • Industrial Utility Scale
Based on these systems, NATPOWER provides a complete range of power solutions realizing power output smoothing, peak shaving, intraday trading, frequency regulation, transient active power responding and transient voltage supporting, to keep the power system running safely, steadily and reliably. Hydro Electricity Storage can be used for power back up (black-start capability), power quality management, frequency regulation, and voltage compensation in the power system.
NATPOWER provides Hydro Electricity Storage as an above ground and below surface energy storage system for on grid-, off grid and hybrid use. Benefiting from the modular and scalable design, Hydro Electricity Storage can be tailor-made for various needs.
NATPOWER’s Hydro Electricity Storage provides from kWh sized to utility sized MWh systems, and is independent from climate-, environmental-, geological and geographic conditions.
