Kaniv Pumped Storage Power Station

Ukraine

The 903rd largest power station in the world

1 GW · Capacity

Kaniv Pumped Storage Power Station is an unfinished pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant in the village of Buchak near the city of Kaniv in Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine. Construction of the Kaniv PSP with a capacity of 3600 MW began in 1986 but was halted in 1991. An updated project adapted to the current state of Ukraine's unified energy system envisages the construction of a pumped storage power plant with a reduced capacity of 1000 MW.
