There is still bad feeling in wales about some of the valleys that where flooded in the 60's.

With devolved government now in Wales and Scotland and new Pumped storage will face more push back

Given rule changes even without devolved government repeats of the Liverpool reservoir would be much harder. Dinorwig used already existing disused quarries - not flooding a pristine valley.

In the case of Scotland it's been the Scottish government looking at using lochs. No idea what the case is in Wales.
