[Hebei Qianxi pumped storage power station project started] On March 20, 2023, the key implementation project of the 14th Five-Year Plan of the National Energy Administration - Qianxi County Pumped Storage Power Station Project started construction, with a total investment of 7.2 billion yuan. According to reports, the Qianxi County pumped storage power station project is located in Luanyang Town and Shangying Township, Qianxi County, Tangshan City. It is invested and constructed by Huayuan Power Co., Ltd. and is one of the seven pumped storage power station projects approved by Hebei Province in 2022. , mainly undertake tasks such as peak shaving, valley filling, frequency modulation, phase modulation, and emergency backup of the Beijing-Tianjin and northern Hebei power grid systems. It is planned to build a total installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts, and install 4 single-stage mixed-flow reversible pump-turbines with a single-unit capacity of 250 megawatts. The total construction period of the project is 66 months. It is expected that the first unit will be put into operation in 2029, and all four units will be put into operation in 2030. After the completion of the Qianxi pumped storage power station, it is estimated that it can generate 2.1 billion kWh annually, save 200,000 tons of standard coal, and contribute 90 million yuan in tax revenue. At the same time, the power station is expected to be able to cooperate with 2-2.6 million kilowatts of wind and solar power, improve the utilization rate of wind and wind energy, and reduce the proportion of thermal power units in the Beijing-Tianjin and northern Hebei power grids.
