Yes, pumped storage is definitely an existing technology that serves this need. I live near a massive one as well. However, large-hydro recently has not been considered as renewable form of generation due to the disruptive impact it has to local ecosystems.

I know in the US, new projects do not get approved due to permitting and water board issues. So I don’t think we’re going to see any new construction.
