China Largest Parabolic Trough CSP Plant Foresees Completion This Year

As one of the first batch of 20 pilot CSP projects, CSNP Royal Tech Urat 100MW Parabolic Trough CSP Project is the largest trough plant within the pilot projects and the only remaining pilot project located in Inner Mongolia province.

Following the first CGN Delingha 50MW parabolic trough CSP project which was connected to the grid in October 2018, CSNP Royal Tech Urat 100MW CSP Project is now developed smoothly, and expected to be completed by the end of this year, when it will be the second parabolic trough CSP demonstration project, and also the first 100MW large-scale parabolic trough CSP plant in China.

With the total investment of around RMB 2.9 billion, the 100MW parabolic trough CSP project is equipped with 375 PT loops and 10 hours' molten salt thermal energy storage system. The annual electricity generation is expected to be 350GWh.
