While the investment required for solar thermal power plants remain high, China is working to reduce costs and promote commercialization. According to the China Solar Thermal Alliance, the cost of electricity from tower solar thermal plants is expected to drop to 0.61 yuan per kilowatt-hour (kWh) by 2025 and to about 0.53 yuan per kWh by 2027.
By 2024 China is building 30 Concentrated Solar Power Projects as part of gigawatt-scale renewable energy complexes in each province, appropriately reflecting the urgency and scale needed for climate action
The development of Concentrated Solar Power is entering into a fast track in 2022 here in China. Within the Multi-Energy RE complexes combining with PV and/or Wind, CSP is playing a role as stabilizer and regulator, easing the power fluctuation and curtailment of PV and Wind, through its thermal energy storage.
