China-based Cosin Solar’s JintaZhongguang 100 MW CSP+PV project in Gansu is part of China’s second batch of large-scale renewable energy base projects located in desert and arid regions. The hybrid station combines 600 MW of PV with 100 MW of molten salt tower CSP(Concentrated Solar Power), supported by an 8-hour thermal storage system. It has a heliostat field of 767,800 square meters and is expected to generate about 1,450 GWh each year. From August 13 to 15, 2025, it ran for three straight days, producing over 1,000 MWh daily and reaching 1,317 MWh on August 14. The CSP unit reduced load during the day to prioritize PV output and ran at full capacity at night. Since its full-process operation began on July 10, it has generated 15,548 MWh across 391.2 hours, despite nine rainy and seventeen cloudy days. The project was grid-connected on May 28 and reached full-load operation within 11 days, recording 1,024 MWh on July 21. Overall, the plant has applied a low-position tank short-axis pump system to improve molten salt utilization and activated electric heaters during the day to absorb surplus PV power, enhancing operational efficiency.This milestone followed Cosin Solar’s progress in Gansu, complementing its plan to build the world’s largest CSP unit in Qinghai, China
