Delingha 10MW Tower CSP
Steadfast operation for 10 years, achieving 97% attainment of power generation targets which places it amongst the best in the world.
2-hour molten salt energy storage upgrade completed in August 2016.
The first tower CSP operational station in China and the sixth in the world.
In July 2013, the Delingha 10Mw Double Tower CSP Tower plant was successfully integrated into the Qinghai power grid.
The first CSP station approved grid. The National Development and Reform commission approved a grid-connected electricity price of 1.2 RMB per kilowatt-hour which is a momentous step toward the commercial operation of solar thermal power technology.
The first tower CSP station with molten salt energy storage in China and the third globally
Completed 2-hour molten salt energy storage retrofit and achieved full-load power generation on August 21, 2016.
The CSP is located 3017 meters above sea level.
The project is an indicator of China’s independently developed tower-type solar thermal system integration technology and core equipment development capabilities to withstand severe environments.
