Conventional hydropower is a renewable form of energy that uses the natural energy of moving water in rivers to spin turbines that generate electricity. Pumped storage hydropower uses energy generated by other sources to pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir and later releases the water through turbines when power is needed.
