On November 5, the results of selecting Qinghai Province’s 2024 preferred CSP demonstration (pilot) projects were announced. The Golmud 350MW CT CSP project applied by Cosin Solar was successfully shortlisted. The selected project will be included in the development and construction plan of key projects in the power industry of Qinghai Province for 2024.

This project has an installed capacity of 350MW and is equipped with a 10-hour molten salt energy storage system. Once completed, it will significantly alleviate the issue of insufficient flexible peaking power supply in Qinghai Province, offer strong support for the safe and stable operation of the local power system, facilitate the consumption of new energy sources such as local wind and solar power, and contribute to the construction of the national clean energy industry highland in Qinghai Province.

As a pioneer in the domestic CSP industry, Cosin Solar has been dedicated to promoting the technological progress and large-scale development of the CT CSP sector. Up to now, Cosin Solar has participated in and provided heliostat field & MSR systems in 14 commercial CT CSP projects. The installed scale ranges from 10MW to 50MW, 100MW, 150MW, 200MW. The Golmud 350MW CT CSP project is currently the largest CT CSP project in terms of single-unit installed capacity among the completed, planned, and ongoing projects worldwide. Its completion will provide a demonstration for the further development of CSP.
