The year of 2019 already witnessed the successful completion of two more new-built concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in China, including Luneng Haixi 50MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Project and Power China Gonghe 50MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Project. Together with the three operational solar thermal plants finished in 2018, China now owns 5 large-scale commercial solar thermal power plants with total capacity of 300 MW in operation.

Moreover, another 4 CSP demonstration projects are on the last stage of construction and will be connected to the grid soon by the end of this year in 2019 or middle of next year in 2020.

As a matter of fact, China becomes the biggest contributor in global new CSP projects’ development in the last two years, and the market is getting experienced with such a number of built-up commercial plants.

The Chart below lists the projects:
