Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.

Like a savings account for the electric grid, energy storage neatly balances electricity supply and demand. When energy generation exceeds demand, energy storage systems can store that excess energy until electricity production drops and the energy can be deposited back to the power. .

Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources. .
Energy storage solutions enable the surplus energy to be captured, converted and reused as needed, by reducing demand variability. This chapter provides a summary of technologies used in building energy storage, including their primary types, techno-economic considerations, and environmental. .

Hydropower is the most used form of renewable energy in Russia, and there is large potential in Russia for more use of hydropower. Russia has 102 hydropower plants with capacities of over 100 MW, making it fifth in the world for hydropower production. It is also second in the world for hydro potential, yet only 20% of this potential is developed. Russia is home to 9% of the world's hydro.
