The Nan'an Pumped Storage Project is located in Dongtian Town, Nan'an City. The power station has an installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts (4 × 300,000 kilowatts) and is a daily regulation pumped storage power station with a rated head of 419 meters and a distance-to-height ratio of 4.08.

[pdf] The following page lists all power stations that are larger than 1,000 in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW, and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional lists, listed at the end of the page. Snowy 2.0 will link two existing dams – Tantangara and Talbingo – through 27km of tunnels and build a new underground power station. It has the capability to run for more than seven days continuously before it needs to be ‘recharged’. Snowy 2.0 also has a 100-year design life.
[pdf] As of 2025, this engineering marvel represents one of Europe's most ambitious solutions to energy storage headaches. Think of it as a massive water-based power bank, but instead of charging your phone, it powers entire cities during peak demand.
[pdf] Wuyue is a pumped storage project. The gross head of the project will be 269.6m. The project is expected to generate 871 GWh of electricity. The hydro power project consists of 4 turbines, each with 250MW nameplate capacity. The project construction is expected to commence from 2020.
[pdf] Through bibliometric analysis, this study reveals that PHES site selection research has experienced rapid growth in recent years, driven by national energy policies. A review framework is constructed from two dimensions: site selection targets and methodological approaches.
