The Philippines is already investing in pumped hydro as the country seeks to achieve 50% renewable energy mix by 2040. The Third Green Energy Auction aimed for 4,000 megawatts of pumped hydro storage, but received 6,350 MW of pumped hydro being offered.
[pdf] Wuyue is a pumped storage project. The gross head of the project will be 269.6m. The project is expected to generate 871 GWh of electricity. The hydro power project consists of 4 turbines, each with 250MW nameplate capacity. The project construction is expected to commence from 2020.
[pdf] Work has been completed on the world’s largest pumped storage station, at 3.6 GW, according to state news source China Energy News. The Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station in Hebei province, north of Beijing, started commercial operations Sunday on its twelfth and final reversible turbine unit.
[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] As of 2025, this engineering marvel represents one of Europe's most ambitious solutions to energy storage headaches. Think of it as a massive water-based power bank, but instead of charging your phone, it powers entire cities during peak demand.
[pdf] Nestled in the rugged hills of northern Portugal, the Porto Novo Pumped Storage Power Station stands as a marvel of modern energy engineering. Located near the Douro River basin, this facility bridges the gap between renewable energy generation and grid stability.
