China completes the world’s largest pumped storage stationWork has been completed on the world’s largest pumped storage station, at 3.6 GW, according to state news source China Energy News. The Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station in Hebei province, north of Beijing, started commercial operations Sunday on its twelfth and final reversible turbine unit. The facility is operated by the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC).
“PSPP Fengning 2 will be a safe, reliable, environmental[ly] friendly, ecologically harmonious quality project which will benefit Chinese society,” said SGCC in a statement.
Originally scheduled for completion in 2021, construction on the project began in June 2013. In April 2014, Gezhouba Group was awarded the main contract to build the power station, which was constructed in two 1,800 MW phases, amounting to 3.6 GW of installed capacity. Each phase consisted of building six reversible pump-turbine units with a capacity of 300 MW apiece.
