The largest pumped storage power station in ultra-high altitude areas has started construction, with an installed capacity of 2.4 million kilowatts of energy storage power stations | altitude | region
CCTV News: Yesterday, Three Gorges Group announced that the construction of the Golmud Nanshankou Pumped Storage Power Station, which has the largest installed capacity and is located in the ultra-high altitude area of Qinghai, China, has officially begun. The ultra-high altitude here refers to the altitude between 3500 meters and 5500 meters.
The Nanshankou Pumped Storage Power Station is the first pumped storage project in Qinghai Province to start construction in the Shagehuang area. The project has an installed capacity of 2.4 million kilowatts, with a total of 8 300000 kilowatt pumped storage units installed. The upper reservoir has an altitude of 3700 meters, making it the largest planned installed capacity and regulating reservoir capacity in high-altitude areas above 3500 meters in the world.
The Nanshankou Pumped Storage Power Station plans to achieve the first batch of units put into operation by 2028 and all units put into operation by 2030. After production, its regulatory capacity can drive an annual increase of nearly 14.8 billion kilowatt hours in new energy generation and replace approximately 4.63 million tons of standard coal.
