Jingning pumped storage power station has a total installed capacity of 1.4 million kilowatts, a total investment of 9.2 billion yuan, and a design annual generating capacity of 1.4 billion kilowatt hours. The upper reservoir is located in Caihuyang Village, Shawan Town, and the lower reservoir is located in wutong Keng Village, wutong Township.

Songyang Pumped Storage Power Station has a total installed capacity of 1.4 million kilowatts, a total investment of 8.8 billion yuan, and a design annual power generation of 1.4 billion kilowatt hours. The upper reservoir is located in Heshantou Village, Yuyan Town, and the lower reservoir is located in Huangzhuang Village, Zhuyuan Township.

Pumped storage power stations can provide clean power for Zhejiang power grid, promote the optimization of power generation methods in power receiving areas, and gradually reduce the installed capacity of thermal power, so as to ease the pressure of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide emissions faced by the power industry, reduce air pollution, improve the environmental quality of power receiving areas, reduce the pressure of coal mine, thermal power, and transportation construction, and promote the sustainable economic development of power supply and power receiving areas.

In the context of the randomness and intermittency of wind power and solar power generation output, the poor stability and continuity of power generation, and the great impact on the power grid, which will bring great challenges to the real-time balance of the power system and the safe and stable operation of the power grid after the grid connection, the pumped storage power plant not only plays a role in peak load regulation and valley filling, but also is the "golden partner" of new energy, which will be unstable Discontinuous "garbage electricity" is directly transformed into "high-quality electricity" to avoid energy waste.
