List of pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 188.245.178.253 (talk) at 10:01, 18 July 2013 (→‎Pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in current net generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW, and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional lists, listed at the end of the page.
