Didn't realize we do this already. Do you happen to know some places where this is being done?

Thanks. Interestingly, a brief glance at their power system suggests that it doesn't seem to be using wind/solar to do the pumping. Which I thought was the main reason you would want a setup like this, to store the energy until night or during low winds. They basically just use the extra energy generated from fossil fuels during off peak hours.
