The development of renewable energy is the only way for the world's energy transformation. Accelerating the development of pumped storage plays an important role in accelerating the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality at peak carbon. On January 14, 2023, the pre-feasibility study report of the Inner Mongolia Bayannur Taiyanggou Pumped Storage Power Station passed the review.

It is understood that this project is a key project of the National Energy Administration's "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" pumped storage medium and long-term development plan, and it is also a major energy project that the Autonomous Region and Bayannur City will promote overall. The power station is located in Bayinbaolige Town, Wulatehou Banner. It is a daily regulating pumped storage power station. The pivot project is mainly composed of upper reservoirs, water delivery systems, underground powerhouse systems, lower reservoirs and ground switch stations. The installed capacity of the power station is The scale is 1.2 million kilowatts, the total construction period is 72 months, and the total investment is 9.6 billion yuan. Inner Mongolia Electric Power Group Comprehensive Energy Co., Ltd. is responsible for the construction.

The power station is the first pumped storage power station in Bayannaoer City. After it is completed and put into operation, it will undertake important tasks such as peak regulation, valley filling, energy storage, frequency modulation, phase modulation, and emergency backup of the western Inner Mongolia power grid. It is of great significance to transform and upgrade green energy, further optimize the structure of energy and power sources, improve the comprehensive defense capabilities of power grids and power supply reliability, and promote high-quality economic and social development.
