According to the latest updates from the project site, the Jinta ZhongGuang Solar “CSP + PV” Pilot Project 100MW CSP Project (‘Project’) has entered a stable operational phase, with recent power generation data showing rapid and steady growth.
The Project successfully connected to the grid on May 28, 2025, and achieved full-process operation on July 10, 2025. Within just 11 days, the Project reached full-load operation and generated 1024 MWh in a single day on July 21. Over the past 10 days, cumulative power generation reached 7067.2 MWh, including a continuous 128-hour uninterrupted operation from July 24 to July 29, during which it generated 4612.8 MWh. On the afternoon of July 29, the system was shut down as scheduled due to a sandstorm.
Achieving such performance shortly after full-load operation fully demonstrates Cosin Solar' deep understanding and mastery of tower CSP integrated solutions, while also verifying the maturity and reliability of its core equipment.
With further improvements in heliostat field cleaning efficiency, the Project's performance is expected to continue rising. The Jinta Zhongguang 100MW CSP project is poised to become another industry benchmark, following the Qinghai SUPCON SOLAR Delingha 50MW Molten Salt Tower CSP demonstration project.
Project Overview:
Jinta ZhongGuang Solar “CSP + PV” Pilot Project is part of China’s second batch of large-scale renewable energy base projects focused on deserts, Gobi areas, and arid regions. Located in the Baishuiquan Photovoltaic Industrial Park of Jinta County, Jiuquan City, it has a total installed capacity of 700MW, configured as 600MW PV and 100MW CT CSP, equipped with 9-hour molten salt thermal energy storage system. Once fully operational, the project is expected to deliver approximately 1450GWh of clean electricity annually to the grid, saving about 480,000 tons of standard coal and reducing 1,360,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year. It holds significant importance for promoting local socio-economic development, energy conservation, and emissions reduction.
