The power station is under development by Ngonyezi Projects Limited (NPL), a company based in Pretoria, South
Lanark Hydro Scheme which produces enough flexible electricity to power more than 15,000 households has been acquired by Drax Group as part of a £702 million deal. 11 January 2019. Believed to be the oldest hydro-electric plant in the UK, the power stations associated with the Lanark Hydro Scheme at Stonebyres and Bonnington on the River
The 1.8GW Grand Maison hydroelectric power station at Allemont, Isere is the biggest hydropower facility in France, as well as the biggest pumped storage hydroelectric facility in Europe. Owned and operated by state-run Electricité de France (EDF), the Grand Maison hydroelectric has been in service since 1986.
The Tianhuangping pumped storage hydroelectric project is the biggest of its kind in Asia. The 1,800MW Tianhuangping plant is located in Anji County in Zhejiang. The Tianhuangping pumped-storage hydro plant cost around $1.08 billion, and came online in 2001. China is ramping up its electric power capacity to meet growing demand.
The pumped storage power station (PSPS) is a special power source that has flexible operation modes and multiple functions. With the rapid economic development in China, the energy demand and the peak-valley load difference of the power grid are continuing to increase. Moreover, wind power, nuclear power, and other new energy

What is hydropower ? Hydroelectric power is produced from moving water. Because the source of hydroelectric power is water, hydroelectric power plants are usually located on or near a water source. The volume of the water flow and the change in elevation (or fall) from one point to another determine the amount of available energy in moving water.
