[pdf] China Yangtze Power Approves RMB 8.26B Pumped Storage Project in Henan February 19 – China Yangtze Power Co., Ltd. (CYPC) announced its board's approval for the HouSihe Pumped Storage Power Station project in Gongyi City, Henan Province, with total investment capped at RMB 8.264 billion (USD 1.14B).
[pdf] Pumped storage plants can operate with seawater, although there are additional challenges compared to using fresh water, such as saltwater corrosion and barnacle growth. Inaugurated in 1966, the 240 MW in France can partially work as a pumped-storage station. When high tides occur at off-peak hours, the turbines can be used to pump more seawater into the reservoir than the high tide would have naturally brought in. It is the only large-scale power plant of its kind.
[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] With 23 new utility-scale projects announced in 2024 alone [4], Brazil's adopting storage faster than you can say "Pelé." Laayoune Haichen's partnership with Eletrobras created the continent's first solar-storage microgrid in Amazonas – keeping lights on even during monsoon season.
[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.
