China’s pumped-storage capacity is set to increase even more, with 89 GW of capacity currently under construction. Developers are seeking governmental approvals, land rights, or financing for an additional 276 GW of pumped-storage projects, according to the data from Global Energy Monitor. Pumped storage is a type of energy storage.
In the central China region, the provinces of Zhejiang, Hubei, and Hunan possess the largest prospective capacities in the pipeline, with 95 GW across 79 projects. Moreover, 13 provinces that do not presently have any operating pumped storage facilities boast over 127 GW of prospective capacity.
China is building pumped-storage hydropower facilities to increase the flexibility of the power grid and accommodate growing wind and solar power. As of May 2023, China had 50 gigawatts (GW) of operational pumped-storage capacity, 30% of global capacity and more than any other country.
China is the top-ranked country in terms of oper-ating PSH capacity with 50.7 GW, holding 30% of the world’s total. This is roughly equivalent to the combined PSH capacity of all European countries. China’s current share of global prospective capacity exceeds 80%, making it the primary country for the development of the pumped storage industry.
