What was the old record holder? Bath County in the U.S. is nearly this large.
- ChuckMcM 2y agoThis from the Bath County website : "Net generating capacity is 3,003-megawatts (6 units)." That is 1/1000th the capacity of the 3.6 Gigawatts that this Chinese facility can produce.

- philipkglass 2y agoThere's a pretty good list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pumped-storage_hydroelectric_power_stations#List_of_plants_larger_than_1000_MW_capacity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pumped-storage_hydroel... This looks like the previous record holder (by stored energy, not power): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raccoon_Mountain_Pumped-Storage_Plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raccoon_Mountain_Pumped-Storag...
- thelastgallon 2y agoThanks for the link! Under construction is far more interesting. Out of the 118 under construction (>1000MW), 112 are in China, with 6 from the rest of the world. China is adding 157 GW of storage just from pumped storage.
