The Hongping Pumped Storage Power Station in Jiangxi Province is located in Sanzhulun Township, Jing'an County, Yichun City, with a total installed capacity of 3000MW. The project will be developed in two phases, with the first phase of 1200MW already completed and put into operation. The installed capacity of the second phase of the project that started this time is 1800MW. The main construction contents include: underground powerhouse system, tailwater system project, tailgate tunnel and tailwater pressure regulating chamber, water diversion system project, tailwater regulating ventilation tunnel and other supporting projects.

As the main contractor, China Railway 15th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. is responsible for the construction of core projects such as underground powerhouse systems and tailwater systems. This project has the following characteristics: adopting world leading pumped storage technology; Fully utilize the resources of the upper and lower reservoirs that have already been built in the first phase; The construction standards meet the requirements of first-class large-scale projects.

As a key project in the Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone planning, the project will significantly enhance the peak shaving capacity of Jiangxi power grid after completion; Optimize the power supply structure in Central China; Ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid; Promote the consumption of clean energy; It is expected that the annual power generation will reach 3 billion kWh.

At present, the project has completed the preliminary preparation work and officially entered the main construction phase. After the completion of the project, the Hongping Pumped Storage Power Station in Jiangxi will become the second largest pumped storage power station in the world, providing important support for the power grid in Central China.
