The Yeongdong Pumped Storage Power Plant will be the eighth of its kind to be built in South Korea, with a targeted completion date of 2030. It will consist of two 250 MW generators, totaling a capacity of 500 MW, with a project cost of approximately 1.3377 trillion won.
The bidding for the Hongcheon pumped storage plant, which will take place in August, is expected to draw big four construction companies: Hyundai E&C, Samsung C&T, Daewoo E&C, and POSCO.
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PS) is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity, providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with more than 400 projects in operation.

Let''s face it – when you think of cutting-edge energy projects, Pyongyang might not be the first city that pops into your mind. But hold onto your hard hats, folks! The Pyongyang energy storage project is quietly becoming a cornerstone of North Korea''s push to modernize its power grid.
Shell Energy puts new twist on old technology with pumped storage project The project could also provide about 50,000 acre-feet of water storage in underground basalt formations that could
The Yeongdong PSH Plant, with a total capacity of 500 MW (250 MW x 2 units), is scheduled to be built in Yeongdong County, North Chungcheong Province, by 2030. This marks Korea''s first new pumped-storage project in 14 years,
This project is to construct a 500MW pumped-storage power plant in Sangchon-myeon and Yanggang-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, Chnugcheongbuk-do, with a targeted completion in 2030. The power plant will generate enough power to supply to about 110,000 households annually.
But here''s the kicker: the North Korea pumped energy storage project bidding process is shaping up to be one of 2025''s most unexpected energy stories. Think of it as building a colossal battery... except this one uses water, gravity, and some serious engineering chops.
The Lewis Ridge Pumped Storage Project, a closed-loop, 287-MW hydropower facility, is being constructed at a site where coal was mined beginning in the 1950s, according to local records.
Let''s start with North Korea''s showpiece – the Huichon Hydropower Station. Completed in 2012 under intense political pressure, this 300 MW capacity giant became the poster child for "Chollima speed" (their term for breakneck construction).
