[national Energy Administration: step up the demonstration of pumped storage development needs and strive for full completion in the first half of this year] the Comprehensive Department of the State Energy Administration issued a circular on matters related to further pumped storage planning and construction, which mentioned that it is necessary to carry out the demonstration of pumped storage development needs. The regulation demand of power system is an important premise and basic basis for pumped storage planning and construction. In view of the insufficient preliminary demonstration, not deep work, unclear demand and overheated project declaration in some areas, we should adhere to the demand orientation and carry out in-depth research and demonstration of pumped storage development needs. We will strive for full completion in the first half of this year.
