Which country has the most pumped storage capacity?

China is the top-ranked country in terms of oper-ating PSH capacity with 50.7 GW, holding 30% of the world’s total. This is roughly equivalent to the combined PSH capacity of all European countries. China’s current share of global prospective capacity exceeds 80%, making it the primary country for the development of the pumped storage industry.

Why is Fengning the most significant pumped storage facility in North China?

When fully charged, the upper reservoir can store enough energy to power the plant at full capacity for 10.8 hours, equivalent to nearly 40 GWh. This makes Fengning the most significant pumped storage facility in North China in terms of balancing renewable energy output.

What is pumped storage?

Pumped storage is a type of energy storage. When demand is low (or supply is high), pumped-storage hydropower plants pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir. Later, when electricity demand is high (or supply is low), the water is released from the upper reservoir through a turbine into the lower reservoir, generating electricity.
