Due to the absence of 4 projects on the list of China’s first batch of 20 CSP demonstration projects, the total installed capacity of China’s demonstration projects has decreased to 1014M. The 16 projects that have promised to continue construction have fully resumed or been speeding up the work of preliminary development.

The follows are a summary of the latest construction progress of China’s first batch of CSP demonstration projects.To know more details about rhe construction situation of China’s first batch of CSP Demonstration Projects, please participate in the China International CSP Station Conference & CSPPLAZA 2018 Annual Conference

1.Shouhang Saving Dunhuang 100MW Molten Salt Tower Solar-Thermal Power Generation Project

The project is planned to be completed and put into production by December 31, 2018. To February 4, 2018, the ceiling of the heat-absorbing tower has been lifted to 235 meters high. Currently, the steel structure inside the heat-absorbing tower is under construction and the installation of 1,650 columns has been completed in the heliotat field.
