China commences construction of 200,000-kW solar project
This will be located in the northwestern part of the country.
China has commenced construction of its 200,000-kilowatt concentrated solar power (CSP) generation system.
In a statement, the government said the project will be located in Delingha City, northwest China's Qinghai Province. Local officials said the city has favorable conditions for the development of the CSP system.
Compared with traditional photovoltaic power generation projects, which are heavily dependent on weather conditions, the 1 million-kilowatt solar thermal energy generation and storage project can continue to supply electricity after sunset.
