The first unit of the Meizhou Pumped Storage Power Station Phase II—the first such project in the Greater Bay Area under the 14th Five-Year Plan—began operation on August 26. It greatly enhances grid stability and clean energy supply, generating 300,000 kWh per hour—enough to power 50,000 homes daily. All electricity will be traded on the market, raising Guangdong's pumped storage capacity to 1.5 million kW. When fully operational, the 1.2 million kW station will help push the Greater Bay Area's total pumped storage capacity past 10 million kW, strengthening regional energy resilience.
