GCL breaks ground on 2.4 GW pumped storage plant in China
China’s GCL Group has launched the construction of a 2.4 GWh pumped hydro storage plant located in the Linchang Town of Jiande City, Zhejiang Province, China.
The GCL Pumped Storage Power Station is at the power consumption center of Zhejiang and close to Shanghai. With a total investment of around CNY12.5 billion (US$1.76 billion), the project is expected to commence power generation before 2030. Once completed, the power station will feature 6 reversible water turbine generator units with a power of 400 MW each. It is expected to generate an average annual electricity output of 2.52 TWh.
The main rationale for investing in building the Jiande pumped storage power station is to respond to the call to optimize and adjust the national energy structure. Upon completion and starting operations, the power station will become the largest pumped storage power station in East China.
