As CSP Focus reports earlier, the 3rd CSP plant in South Africa Abengoa develops---100MW parabolic trough Xina Solar One will be officially launched soon this month. Prior to Xina, 100MW parabolic trough Kaxu and 50MW solar power tower Khi were both in operation starting from 2015 and 2016 separately.
