China General Nuclear Power Corp. connected the first 25 MW unit of a 50 MW concentrated solar power plant at 4,300 meters altitude in Tibet's Ali Prefecture to the grid on November 6, the world's highest-altitude operational grid-connected CSP facility. The 150 MW hybrid project combines 100 MW of solar PV with 50 MW of thermal power generation and uses PV electricity to power molten salt heating for energy storage.
The second 25 MW unit is scheduled to connect by end of 2026.
