Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) will invest 4 trillion won ($3.13 billion) to build a total of 1.8GW capacity pumped-storage power plants in three locations - Gyeonggi, Gangwon, and North Chungcheong Provinces.
[pdf] KHNP announced on July 30 that the construction of Yeongdong Pumped Storage Units 1 and 2 began on April 17 this year, and with Hapcheon and Yeongyang pumped storage projects included in the 11th Basic Plan for Long-term Electricity Supply and Demand, the construction of pumped-storage power plants has resumed in earnest for the first time in 14 years since the completion of the Yecheon Pumped Storage Power Plant in 2011.
[pdf] It is scheduled to go live before 2030 and will mainly undertake peak shaving, valley filling, and energy storage tasks for the power grid in East China, the firm added. The power station will include six reversible hydro generators with a capacity of 400,000 kW per unit, GCL Energy noted.
[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] The Yangyang Pumped Storage Power Station uses the water of the Namdae-Chun River to operate a 1,000-megawatt (1,300,000 hp) power scheme, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of in , South Korea. The lower reservoir is created by the Yangyang Dam on the Namdae and the upper reservoir by the Inje Dam is located 937 metres (3,074 ft) above the power plant. Construction on the power plant began in 1996 and it was completed and dedic.
[pdf] Development status The project construction is expected to commence from 2026. Subsequent to that it will enter into commercial operation by 2028. For more details on Wawa Pumped.
