Where is China's largest molten salt solar power plant located?

China's largest molten salt solar thermal power plant is situated in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province. By receiving sunlight and heating up the molten salt, it can constantly generate electricity. The power station generates 390 million kilowatts of electricity per year, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 350,000 tonnes.

What is the Dunhuang solar thermal project?

On June 18 this year, the solar collector field was connected to the grid and began power generation. The plant is the first phase of the Dunhuang solar thermal project which is one of China's first 20 national solar thermal power demonstration projects and will be the world's first of its kind for commercial use.

Why is a solar power station in Dunhuang important?

That is equivalent to releasing environmental benefits from 667 hectares of forest, while creating economic benefits of 300 million to 400 million yuan at the same time. Industry insiders said the establishment of the power station in Dunhuang is an important milestone in the development of China's solar thermal power industry.
