I also remember reading of a utility in Germany that would pump water up a hill (to a storage area) during low energy demand periods so it could be released during peak demand periods.

There are a few of these around including TVA's Raccoon Mountain pumped storage hydro facility: Raccoon Mountain

And San Luis dam/lake in California, for the last 50 years or so.
