At an Aug. 28 results briefing, Southern Grid Energy Storage said it has nine
pumped‑storage hydro projects under construction. Under the company’s plan,
projects will be completed and commissioned from the 15th Five‑Year Plan period
into the early 16th Five‑Year Plan, with new stations entering operation each
year. The company is targeting commissioning of the Zhaoqing pumped‑storage
project within this year but said the schedule faces uncertainty from multiple
construction factors.
