Five CIL mines to converted into pump-storage power projects -
Pumped storage power plants use gravity to generate electricity using water where two reservoirs at different heights generate power as water moves through turbines. During periods of low demand, the water is pumped into the higher reservoir. When demand is high, the water is released to drive a turbine in a powerhouse and feed electricity into the grid.
