Now, storing water for a dry-year risk in a hydro dam has merit, but that stored energy needs to be close to where people and businesses need it, and it's been suggested by many in the energy industry that that is not the right place to store energy, because it's so far away from the main centres. That water must also be held as reserves for years and years sometimes, between dry years, without producing any electricity or revenue for the dam owner. So the private sector energy generators are now asking the Government and they're asking their customers why they would invest in new renewables and baseload energy generation when the Government might build an enormous hydro dam, take control of the electricity markets, and tank all of their brand new investments.
