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] The following page lists all power stations that are larger than 1,000 in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW, and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional lists, listed at the end of the page. Snowy 2.0 will link two existing dams – Tantangara and Talbingo – through 27km of tunnels and build a new underground power station. It has the capability to run for more than seven days continuously before it needs to be ‘recharged’. Snowy 2.0 also has a 100-year design life.
