China required from the first demonstration phase that each CSP project must include thermal energy storage, marking the first recognition globally of the value of the low cost and longevity of thermal energy storage. As a power station storing solar energy thermally, CSP operates like a gas plant to supply grid services like rolling reserves.
Due to rising awareness and technological advancements, solar power is being increasingly invested in throughout the world. China has an abundance of solar energy resources. If the resources of energy are adequately used, it can resolve any energy difficulties. Energy is the foundation of a nation’s socioeconomic progress.

Over 99% of China's technical potential is concentrated in five western provinces. Concentrated solar power (CSP) technology can not only match peak demand in power systems but also play an important role in the carbon neutrality pathway worldwide. Actions in China is decisive.
Fig. 6. Annual power generation and potential installed capacity of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants with four different technologies by province in China: (A) Parabolic trough collector (PTC), (B) linear Fresnel collector (LFC), (C) central receiver system (CRS), and (D) parabolic dish system (PDS).
The installed capacity of solar power in China had grown steadily. The newly installed capacity of solar power was 30.3GW (including an increase of 200MW for CSP), and the cumulative installed capacity had reached 204.74GW (including 440 MW of CSP).
Renewable energy plays a significant role in achieving energy savings and emission reduction. As a sustainable and environmental friendly renewable energy power technology, concentrated solar power (CSP) integrates power generation and energy storage to ensure the smooth operation of the power system.
This reflects the abundance of solar energy resources in China and demonstrates the potential for the development of CSP technology. If CSP is developed according to its potential, it can generate a significant fraction of China’s electricity consumption in the future.
