Recently, the Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued an approval reply for the Jiangxi Suichuan pumped storage power station project. The details are as follows:

The Jiangxi Suichuan pumped storage power station project has a total installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts. It installs four single-stage vertical shaft mixed-flow reversible water pump turbine generator units with a single unit capacity of 300,000 kilowatts. It also builds an upper reservoir, a lower reservoir, a water transmission system, and a power plant building. and switching stations and other buildings, as well as supporting projects. The total project investment is 7.74 billion yuan.

The project is connected to the system with a voltage level of 500 kV. The transmission project is funded and constructed by State Grid Jiangxi Electric Power Co., Ltd. The specific plan will be reviewed and approved separately.

The energy storage function of pumped storage power stations can effectively smooth out the fluctuations of incoming power and new energy output from outside the area, improve the stability of system operation, enhance the safe and stable operation capability of the power grid, improve the economic operation level of the power system, and achieve the optimal allocation of overall social resources. At the same time, there is almost no pollutant emission during the operation of the power station, and after it is put into operation, it can reduce raw coal consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other pollutants every year, which has a positive effect on environmental protection.

The construction of the power station is of great significance in balancing the supply and demand of the power grid, providing peak and frequency regulation capabilities, promoting the development of renewable energy, improving the quality of power grid, promoting local economic development and environmental protection.Editor/Zhao E
