It is the largest concentrated solar power project in the world in terms of installed capacity, investment size, and molten salt reserve heat. Solar Thermal Trough Unit No. 1 On November 29 (Dubai Time), the Trough Unit No. 1 facility of Shanghai Electric's 700MW solar thermal and 250MW [...]
A California firm is converting sunlight to heat and storing it in molten salt so it can supply electricity when the wind is calm or the sun isn’t shining. The 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Facility in Nevada is the first utility-scale concentrating solar plant that can provide electricity whenever [...]
According to a recent study from market research firm Graphical Research, the Asia Pacific concentrated solar power market size is set to register a significant growth during the forecast timeframe. With Asian power demand moving at warp speed, the advancements across APAC concentrated solar power (CSP) market are difficult [...]
Denmark’s ‘energy island’ of Bornholm is to host what is being claimed as “game changing” molten salts-based storage technology that its developer aims to deploy as a future large-scale source of renewable heat and power. 20 MW Thermal Energy Storage Trials Hydroxide Molten Salt at the offshore energy island Bornholm [...]
The plant, which will use lenses or mirrors to focus a large area of sunlight onto a receiver, is due to be operational by 2027 and is the flagship renewable project in government’s Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) for energy development in the years to 2040. The Ministry of Minerals and [...]
Africa, and especially its northern part with the Sahara desert, has a huge solar capacity, which has been pointed out for a long time, but which was still underutilized. They have been trying to change this for some time in Morocco and thus shake off the dependence on the import [...]
In Denmark, financing district heat was not left to the whims of the market. Each municipality offers true loan guarantees – making very long term investments very low risk. The result is that 400 district heating and combined heat and power plants supply district hot water for residential heating to [...]
The low price of the ministry and the uncertainty of connection delay the installation of a new solar thermal, which in 2025 should be double the current one according to the PNIEC. The generation of energy with solar thermal technology has been stuck for a decade in Spain. Not a [...]

The share of renewable energy in Dubai’s energy production mix now stands at 12.8%, and is expected to reach 14% by the end of 2022, mostly propelled by the sun, according to the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa). Total power production capacity of Dewa currently stands at 14,317 megawatts [...]
Tender on Electrical Instrument Installation - Jinta Zhongguang Solar Energy CSP+PV Project On October 24, Zhejiang Thermal Power Construction Co., Ltd issued a tender for the whole plant electrical installation project of Jinta Zhongguang Solar Energy CSP+PV Project Including 400MW Molten Salt TES Load Side - SPIC Tongliao 750MW Project [...]
CSP is a powerful and exciting technology for large-scale solar power generation. Although it has been in use since the 1980’s, it is still seen as somewhat new and emerging, with innovation and efficiency improvements under active development. The total power generated by CSP is small compared to Photovoltaic (PV) [...]
