We don’t necessarily have to use batteries. In mountainous regions we already have stations that use surplus power to pump water up a mountain and then drop it down to generate energy when needed. Its basically a potential energy battery. But this is usually location limited and more expensive to set up.
You’re describing dams, and basically all the good locations are taken already.
Tbf that would be two dams and they did use the plural of dams, technically ‘dams’ could be a pumped storage facility.
