Jixi Pumped Storage Power Station
The Jixi Pumped Storage Power Station () is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station currently under construction in Jixi County, Anhui Province, China. Studies were carried out in 2008 and construction began in December 2010. It is expected to last 6 years. As of April 2017 the dam is completed. First turbine was commissioned in December 2019, followed by second in May 2020 and third and fourth in August 2020. The last two units were commissioned in February 2021.

Reservoirs
The lower reservoir is formed by a  tall and  long concrete-face rock-fill dam (CFRD), with a storage capacity of  of which  is active (or 'usable') for pumping. The upper reservoir is formed by a CFRD as well, which is  tall and  long, withholding a  man-made lake. The normal elevation of the lower reservoir is  and the upper . This difference in elevation affords a rated hydraulic head of . The power station is located underground near the bank of the lower reservoir and contains six 300 MW Francis pump turbine-generators.
