Argonne National Laboratory
PSH Education and Training Hub
Building awareness of pumped storage hydropower commercialization benefits.
The Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) Education and Training Hub provides educational resources to support PSH stakeholders with commercialization training, orientation to DOE and other funding opportunities and other skills to build collaborative relationships with companies, consumers, regulators and local communities.
Goal: Build awareness of training programs from national laboratories and entrepreneurial centers and gather feedback from entrepreneurial centers, investors and funding sources to inform PSH stakeholders on lessons learned and best practices in seeking funding options, understanding criteria for decision-makers, and gaining awareness and access to networks of funding organizations for each PSH development pathway.
