Kannagawa Hydropower Plant
Japan
The 211th largest power station in the world
The Kannagawa Hydropower Plant is an under construction pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant near Minamiaiki in Nagano Prefecture and Ueno in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. The power plant utilizes the Minamiaiki River along with an upper and lower reservoir created by two dams, the upper Minamiaiki Dam and the lower Ueno Dam. The power station in between the two dams will contain six 470 megawatts (630, 000 hp) pump-generators for a total installed capacity of 2,820 megawatts (3, 780, 000 hp). Unit 1 commenced commercial operation in 2005 and Unit 2 in 2012. When completed, the plant will have the third-largest (after Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station and Bath County Pumped Storage Station) pumped-storage power capacity in the world.
