Research on the construction of new energy storage power stations

Should pumped storage power stations be planned according to local conditions?

In 2021, the National Energy Administration made it clear in the Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Pumped Storage (2021–2035) that the construction of small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations should be planned according to local conditions in provinces with better resources.

Why are small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations important?

Small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations have unique development advantages, and the development and construction of small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations have important practical significance for optimizing the energy structure of Zhejiang Province.

Which pumped storage power stations are under construction?

Qujiang, Suichang, Jingning and other pumped storage power stations are under construction, and Songyang, Qingtian and other pumped storage power stations are planned to be built.

What pumped storage power stations ushered in a new peak?

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” and “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” periods, to adapt to the rapid development of new energy and UHV power grids, pumped storage power stations such as Fengning in Hebei Province and Jixi in Anhui Province ushered in a new peak.

How can pumped storage power stations improve regional energy consumption capacity?

Promoting the construction of flexible and decentralized small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations is conducive to implementing the dual‑carbon goal and improving regional new energy consumption capacity.

When did pumped storage power stations start?

The construction of early pumped storage power stations at home and abroad started from small and medium-sized power stations. In the 1960s, the construction of Hebei Gangnan small hybrid pumped storage power station with an installed capacity of only 11,000 kW filled the gap in China's pumped storage industry.
