On October 27, the 2026 International Computing-Power and Electricity Coordination Industry Expo (CPE2026) and its special forum on intelligent computing centers and new-type power systems opened in Shanghai. Cosin Solar Chairman and Chief Scientist Jin Jianxiang was invited to deliver a keynote. The forum gathered leading experts from industry, academia, and research to discuss end-to-end implementation across the generation-grid-load-storage value chain.

In his keynote, "Techno-Economic Evaluation of CSP in Computing-Power Synergy Scenarios," Jin emphasized that computing centers require not just "green power," but "stable, dispatchable green baseload power." By combining generation with long-duration storage, CSP provides continuous output capable of replacing thermal units for computing centers, while its rapid, deep regulation capability significantly enhances grid flexibility.

Citing the 350MW off-grid integrated power solution for a Delingha computing center, he noted that a hybrid system—integrating CSP, wind, PV, heat pumps, coal-fired backup, and battery storage—can deliver stable year-round power with over 80% green energy share at an LCOE of approximately RMB 0.331/kWh. With redundant UPS and diesel generators, the system meets the Class A reliability standard for computing centers.

Jin concluded that CSP is the key to overcoming the dual challenges of "green electricity" and "stable supply" for data centers. Pairing seamlessly with wind, PV, and backup systems, it enables high-share, low-cost green power year-round, making "green computing" a reality. China's abundant high-quality solar resources and land provide highly favorable conditions for CSP development, making the deep integration of "CSP+" solutions and computing centers a perfect alignment of technology, demand, and resource endowment.

Later, during the roundtable on "Innovative Integration of Wind, Solar, CSP, Energy Storage and AIDC Power Supply Architectures," Jin joined other industry experts to discuss pathways for integrating green energy with intelligent computing centers. The discussion fostered industry consensus and advanced the implementation of innovative green power-computing synergy scenarios.

Looking ahead, as large-scale computing centers demand increasingly stable and reliable green power, Cosin Solar will leverage its leadership in CSP and molten salt storage to partner with industry players in expanding innovative models that integrate green energy supply with AI computing infrastructure.
