Serving the Green Winter Olympics, the world's largest "Super Power Bank" put into production

On December 30, 2021, the first two units of the Fengning Pumped-storage Power Station of the State Grid, a key project serving the Beijing Green Winter Olympics, were put into operation for power generation

Xin Baoan, chairman of the State Grid Corporation of China and party secretary, said that highlighting the concept of green hosting of the Olympics and using 100% of all Winter Olympics venues to use green electricity is a major feature of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which is unprecedented in the history of the 100-year Olympics

It is understood that Fengning Power Station is located in Fengning County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, close to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Load Center and the 10 million-kilowatt new energy base in northern Hebei

It is understood that the Fengning Power Station has a huge storage capacity.

It is worth noting that pumped storage power plants have the advantages of large investment, long construction period, strong driving force, and significant medium and long-term economic benefits

At present, China is in a critical period of energy green and low-carbon transition development.

As of the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China had 69 pumped storage power stations under construction, with a total installed capacity of 82.

　　To this end, the State Grid Corporation has successively introduced a series of measures to deploy and accelerate the development and construction of pumped storage
.
Since 2021, including the Fengning power station project, the State Grid has successively put into operation 5 pumped storage power station projects, a total of 9 units, with an installed capacity of 2.
85 million kilowatts
.
At present, the scale of pumped storage power stations in operation and under construction in the State Grid Corporation's business area has reached 27.
16 million kilowatts and 47.
98 million kilowatts respectively
.
In the future, the strategic significance and overall impact of accelerating the construction of pumped storage power plants in building a new power system, ensuring energy and power security, and promoting clean energy consumption will become more prominent
