- Fast alternatives to the pump-fed power stations are a compressed air driven power plant in a former mine, on the consumer pays principle, and electricity saving.
- A power structure based on more dispersed, renewable energy sources would decrease the range of electricity consumption over 24-hour periods (Helsinki University of Technology 1988).
In a few decades the method of storing hydrogen energy will be the strongest alternative to pumped storages (NEMO, KTM, B:80, 1990, and Worldwatch 1991).
- Even the President of Finland Martti Ahtisaari, among many other authorities, did not consider the Vaarunvuori hill to be the only alternative site for the pumping station, if this is ever were really needed (12.12.1995).
The nearist of numerous alternative locations was 10 km north from Vaarunvuori hill.
