On June 20, 2022, Zhen'an County, Shaanxi and State Power Investment Shaanxi Upper Yellow River Hydropower Development Company signed a letter of intent for cooperation on the Daren Pumped Storage Power Station project. This is the fourth pumped-storage power station project successfully signed in Zhen'an after Yuehe Pumped-storage Power Station, Miliang Pumped-storage Power Station and Xikou Pumped-storage Power Station.

Daren Pumped Storage Power Station Project The project is located in Shizikou Village, Daren Town, Zhen'an County, with a planned total investment of 12 billion yuan. It consists of upper reservoir, lower reservoir, water delivery system, underground workshop and switch station. The capacity is 1.6 million kilowatts, and 4 single-unit 400,000-kilowatt reversible pump-turbine generators are newly built, with a designed annual power generation of 3 billion kilowatts, which will be connected to the Shaanxi power grid at a voltage of 330 kilovolts. During the construction of the project, it will provide 3,000 jobs, drive 700 local farmers to increase their incomes steadily, and contribute 10 million yuan in tax revenue to the local area every year. After the project is completed, it will drive GDP growth of about 5 billion yuan and increase profits and taxes by nearly 180 million yuan each year.

It is understood that the Yuehe Pumped-storage Power Station in Zhen'an County is the first pumped-storage power station project started construction in Northwest my country, and it is also the largest hydropower station built in Shaanxi. The project has an installed capacity of 1.4 million kilowatts and an investment of 8.8 billion yuan. built. After the project is completed, it can receive more than 500,000 tourists per year, and realize a comprehensive tourism income of 50 million yuan and profits and taxes of 15 million yuan.

Miliang Pumped Storage Power Station The project is located in Bayi Village, Miliang Town, with an installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts and a designed annual power generation capacity of 2 billion kilowatt hours. It is planned to be completed before the end of June 2030. After the project is completed, the GDP will be about 4.5 billion yuan.

Xikou Pumped Storage Power Station is located in Huizu Town and Gaofeng Town, Xikou Town, Zhen'an County, with a designed total installed capacity of 1.6 million kilowatts, a total investment of about 10 billion yuan, and 4 new single-unit 400,000-kilowatt reversible pump-turbine generators, with a designed annual power generation of 3 billion yuan kWh, connected to the Shaanxi power grid at a voltage of 330 kV. After the project is completed, it will effectively enhance the ability of Shaanxi power grid to adjust flexibly and resist accident risks. It can increase GDP by about 5 billion yuan, provide 5,000 jobs, and make 1,200 local farmers rich. Editor/Zhao E
