The Chongli Changyukou Pumped Storage Power Station project has recently released its bidding plan. As a key energy planning project in Hebei Province, the total investment of the project is 9.141 billion yuan, with an estimated bidding amount of 5.963 billion yuan. The full process public bidding is scheduled to start on May 29, 2026. This marks the substantive stage of a new round of peak shaving capacity construction for the Hebei North Power Grid, which is of crucial significance for optimizing the energy structure of the capital economic circle.

9.1 billion investment landed in northern Hebei

The project is located in Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, and the construction unit is Xingyuan Qingneng Pumped Storage Power Generation (Chongli District, Zhangjiakou) Co., Ltd. The project has been approved by the Development and Reform Commission of Hebei Province (Jifagai Energy Nuclear Letter [2024] No. 96), and the funds will be self raised by the enterprise and resolved through bank credit. As an important node in the national energy strategy layout, the completion of the power station will significantly enhance the peak shaving, valley filling, energy storage, and frequency regulation capabilities of the Hebei North Power Grid, directly serving the consumption of wind and photovoltaic power in the Zhangjiakou area, and providing a stable security barrier for the Beijing and North China power grids. According to the plan, the power station will install four 300 MW reversible pump turbine units, with a total installed capacity of 1200 MW, which is a large-scale water conservancy and hydropower project.

5.9 billion large order waiting to be divided

This bidding is a mandatory legal tender that covers the entire lifecycle of the project. Specifically divided into five major sections: engineering survey and design, including geological survey, feasibility study, and construction drawing design; Civil construction involves main projects such as reservoir dams, underground powerhouses, and water conveyance tunnels; Equipment installation includes core units, main transformers, and monitoring systems; Supervision services require full process supervision of quality, progress, and safety; In addition, it also includes specialized consultations on the procurement of mechanical and electrical equipment, the fabrication of metal structures, and the evaluation of resettlement. The bidding organization form is open commission bidding, with an estimated amount of 5.963 billion yuan, requiring bidders to have extremely high professional qualifications and performance capabilities.

A Feast of Central Enterprises and Equipment Manufacturers

The nearly 6 billion bidding volume brings clear opportunities to the industrial chain. At the construction end, central and local state-owned enterprises with experience in large-scale hydropower construction under high-altitude and complex geological conditions will dominate the civil engineering market; On the equipment side, the purchase of four 300 MW high-end units directly benefits top manufacturers such as Dongfang Electric and Harbin Electric; On the server side, specialized institutions are provided with opportunities to enter into sub fields such as whole process engineering consulting, environmental monitoring, and immigration assessment. The project strictly adheres to bidding regulations to ensure fair competition among various market entities. Keywords: new energy projects, energy storage, pumped storage power stations

The Chongli Changyukou Pumped Storage Power Station is not only a single infrastructure project, but also a stabilizer for the new power system in northern Hebei. In the context of the national dual carbon target, this project solves the problem of new energy volatility through large-scale energy storage technology, and its open and transparent bidding mechanism will also standardize industry standards. With the opening of the bidding ceremony in May 2026, this green energy fortress with an investment of over 9 billion yuan will officially enter the fast lane of construction.Editor/Cheng Liting
