On October 18, 2023, the Guiyang Pumped Storage Power Station project in Guizhou Province began smoothly. As the first approved and started pumped storage power station project in Guizhou Province, the commencement of the project marks an important milestone in the preliminary preparation work.

Project Overview

The Guiyang Pumped Storage Power Station is located in Gubao Town, Xiuwen County, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, with a total installed capacity of 1500MW and a total investment of approximately 9.2 billion yuan. It is expected that the first unit of the power station will generate electricity in 2028 and be fully put into operation and completed in 2029. This project has been included in the "14th Five Year Plan" for the Medium and Long Term Development of Pumped Storage Energy (2021-2035).

After the completion of the power station, it can transmit 1.777 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity to society annually, increase the absorption of 3.658 billion kilowatt hours of wind and solar new energy, and save about 1.076 million tons of standard coal annually. The project conforms to the 14th Five Year Plan of Guizhou Province and the requirements of Guizhou's green and low-carbon transformation, which is conducive to the implementation of Guizhou's "strong provincial capital" strategy, promoting sustainable development, and enhancing energy security guarantee capabilities; It is an important support for building a new type of power system with new energy as the main body, a requirement for the growth of electricity demand in Guizhou and the full utilization of Guizhou's strategic advantages in electricity. It is a stabilizer, regulator, and balancer to ensure the safe operation of Guizhou's power grid, laying a solid foundation for the realization of the national "dual carbon" goal, and injecting new vitality and momentum into local economic development.
