en.Wedoany.com Reported - On March 31, 2026, the main construction of the Guangxi Yulin Pumped Storage Power Station, a key project in the national pumped storage plan, officially commenced. With a total investment of 8.36 billion yuan, this project aims to provide energy storage support for the ten-million-kilowatt offshore wind power in the Guangxi Beibu Gulf and the 7-million-kilowatt coastal nuclear power. It is currently the largest clean energy consumption project in terms of investment scale within this economic zone.
The power station is being constructed by China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage Company. It is planned to install 4 units with a total installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts. The project involves 26 construction surfaces including upper and lower reservoirs, underground powerhouse, and water conveyance systems. Upon completion, the station will be capable of converting 1.2 million kWh of clean electricity per hour. Its daily energy storage release can meet the daily electricity needs of approximately 200,000 residential users.
Ma Jiashun, General Manager of the Yulin Pumped Storage Project Department of China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage Company, stated: "The proportion of new energy installed capacity in Guangxi Yulin has already exceeded 90%. After the power station is fully operational in 2029, it will consume 2.16 billion kWh of clean energy annually, providing reliable support for the energy transmission of the ten-million-kilowatt offshore wind power base in the Beibu Gulf and the 7-million-kilowatt coastal nuclear power."
The construction of the Yulin Pumped Storage Power Station is expected to drive upstream and downstream industrial investment exceeding 18 billion yuan and create about 5,000 jobs. Simultaneously, the project's mechanized construction and digital-intelligent management will promote the overall development of the pumped storage industry in the Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone.
