For short-term deployment of the storage systems, up to 2030 there are reductions in LEC of around 50% for pumped hydro, 45% for compressed air storage and 70% for hydrogen storage. The principal reason for the LEC reduction for pumped hydro is the low price of 20 €/MWh also assumed for this technology.
