What is the Zhanghewan pumped storage project?

The Zhanghewan Pumped Storage Project will pump water up to an artificial reservoir on the Laoyemiao Mountain during the night when the system load is low (thus allowing coal-fired plants to operate more efficiently at continuous power for the whole day), and generate peaking power when needed with the same water during the day and evening.

How many GW of hydropower will be online by 2025?

62 GW of operating capacity by 2025, 120 GW by 2030, and 305 GW by 2035. From the data collected in the Global Hydropower Tracker, the prospective capacity expected to be online by 2025 (assuming no retirements) is 75 GW, exceeding the 62 GW target.
