You run a pump, which pushes water up to a reservoir at the top of
a mountain, which then can be used to drive a turbine when needed.
There has been exactly such a site in Wales for decades.

Unfortunately, not really suitable for Windsor, as there is only one
elevated site, and that has a castle built on it!

But I do understand the Queen gets free electicity from turbines set in the
river!
