On January 25, the receiver body hoisting was successfully completed in the Jinta ZhongGuang Solar "CSP + PV" hybrid pilot project 100MW CSP project, hitting another important milestone. This is the first project that completed receiver hoisting among all the "CSP+" projects.

Though the Spring Festival is approaching, the project site remains busy. Workers has overcome the harsh environment such as cold wave and blowing sandstorm. By working closely with all other parties and going at full speed for construction even in the winter time, the Cosin Solar team has completed the installation of 25,594 heliostats on December 26, 2023, and completed the steam turbine covering on January 3, 2024, hitting one after another key milestones with efficiency and quality.

Currently, the civil works of the project have been mostly completed, and the installation works are in full swing. The MS tank, SGS and other auxiliary system equipment and pipelines are also under construction as planned. The project is scheduled to complete all installation works on June 30, 2024, and to connect to the grid as soon as possible. 

Steam turbine covering was successfully completed

Jinta ZhongGuang Solar "CSP + PV" hybrid pilot project, with a total installed capacity of 700MW, is developed and constructed by Jinta ZhongGuang Solar Power Generation Co., Ltd. It is comprised of a 100MW CT CSP and 600MW PV. The 100MW CT CSP project, with an 8-hour MSES, uses solar thermal tower technology fully developed by Cosin Solar. Its designed annual production is 1580GWh and will save 480,000 tons of standard coal and reduce 1,310,000 tons of CO₂ emission per year after operation.
