According to incomplete statistics from CSPPLAZA, a total of 12 important tenders across 11 CSP/molten salt thermal storage-related projects were completed in December 2025.
December 2025 saw significant progress in both concentrated solar power (CSP) and molten salt thermal storage, with key milestones reached in multiple major projects:
In the CSP sector, EPC contractors were finalized for the 50MW solar thermal project in Ga’er County, Ngari, Tibet, and the 100MW solar thermal project in Xigazê City. Both projects are scheduled to commence construction in March 2026. Additionally, the feasibility study was awarded for China Datang Corporation’s 200MW CSP + 1,800MW photovoltaic integrated power generation project.
In the molten salt thermal storage sector, EPC contractors were successfully selected for two projects: Shandong Luxi Power Generation’s “Research and Demonstration of Flexibility Transformation Technology for Thermal Power Units Based on Molten Salt Thermal Storage” and Hebei Datang International Wangtan Power Generation’s 120MW/480MWh molten salt thermal storage project. Meanwhile, Jiangsu Xukuang Power Generation Company’s molten salt energy storage project is actively advancing its preliminary work.
