Cosin Solar Golmud 350MW Tower CSP Project
Qinghai Province's 2024 CSP Demonstration (Pilot) Project
Three Towers, One Turbine Design Scheme
Feed-in tariff is set at 0.55 yuan per kWh
Project Overview

The Cosin Solar Golmud 350MW Tower CSP Project is the world's largest single-unit concentrated solar power plant. It adopts a "Three Towers, One Turbine" design and is equipped with a 14-hour molten salt thermal energy storage system. The total heliostat field area is approximately 3.3 million square meters. Upon completion, the project is expected to generate approximately 963.9GWh of clean electricity annually. This is equivalent to saving 259,700 tonnes of standard coal and reduces 605,300 tons CO2 emission every year.

Cosin Solar is responsible for key aspects of the project, including full-process management, overall plant process design (excluding the conventional island), supply of core system equipment, and technical guidance for commissioning & O&M. The project innovatively applies advanced CSP technologies developed by Cosin Solar, such as multi-field energy synergy control technology, high-capacity safe and efficient molten salt receiver technology, distributed molten salt storage system solutions, and a highly intelligent smart operation system for CSP plants.

As one of the Qinghai Provincial CSP Demonstration (Pilot) Projects in 2024, the feed-in tariff for this project upon operation is set at 0.55 RMB/kWh (tax inclusive). Once operational, the project will fully leverage the capabilities of CSP technology in providing peak shaving, load balancing, frequency regulation, and backup power. It will significantly enhance the flexibility of Qinghai's power system and its power supply capacity during peak hours, promote the integration of wind and PV power, and hold great significance for Qinghai Province in accelerating the development of a national clean energy industry hub.
