On March 16, 2023, the Yumen pumped storage power station project in Gansu Province officially entered the construction and implementation stage.

Yumen Pumped Storage Power Station

The Yumen pumped storage power station project is a key pumped storage project identified in the "National 14th Five-Year Renewable Energy Medium and Long-term Plan" and "National Pumped Storage Medium and Long-term Development Plan", and a major project in Gansu Province during the 14th Five-Year Plan. The Yumen pumped storage power station project is located in Changma Town, Yumen City, Jiuquan District, west of the Hexi Corridor. It is close to the Jiuquan 10 million-kilowatt wind power base, with a total installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts. kWh, the dynamic investment is 10.2 billion yuan. According to reports, the power station is currently the highest-altitude pumped storage power station in China. It is the first time that a power plant is arranged on the ground, and four 300,000-kilowatt reversible generator sets are newly built.

After the Yumen pumped storage power station project is completed, it will become an important peak-shaving power source for the 10-million-kilowatt new energy base in Jiuquan, Gansu Province, and play an important role in power grid peak regulation, valley filling, energy storage, frequency modulation, phase modulation, and emergency backup. , to provide important support for large-scale grid-connected consumption of new energy.
