China’s largest Linear-Fresnel CSP plant—Three Gorges Energy’s Hami Integrated Demonstration Project—reaches full-capacity operation
On 18 September 2025, the 100 MW solar-thermal block of the China Three Gorges Hami Multi-Energy Demonstration Project—China’s largest linear-Fresnel plant—was fully commissioned and synchronized to the grid. China United Engineering Corporation served as the owner’s engineer. The milestone marks the first commercial deployment of an integrated “CSP + PV” operating model in China and sets a new construction-speed record for this technology.
Invested in and built by Three Gorges New Energy Hami Wind Power Co., Ltd., the 1 GW complex is located in Xishan Township, Yizhou District, Hami, Xinjiang. It is the biggest linear-Fresnel multi-energy project in the region. The CSP section uses molten-salt linear-Fresnel technology: 46 collector loops cover 800,000 m² and provide eight hours of thermal storage, enabling round-the-clock generation.
By combining dispatchable CSP storage with the photovoltaic array, the plant smooths the intermittency and volatility typical of renewable generation, delivering firm, low-carbon and cost-competitive power. Expected annual output is 2.067 TWh, saving roughly 620,000 t of standard coal and cutting CO₂ emissions by 1.63 million t per year—another cornerstone in China’s transition to a clean-energy system.

First Steel Column of Gansu Juhua Project Boiler #1 Successfully lifted
The first boiler steel frame of Gansu Juhua Project was safely lifted into place, marking the official start of Boiler #1 erection and the transition from pure civil works to parallel civil-and-mechanical construction.
Led by China United New Energy Engineering Design Institute as the EPC contractor, the project team prepared a detailed lifting plan, secured expert approval, aligned manpower and resources, and carried out comprehensive safety/technical briefings, ensuring the milestone lift was completed without incident. The success will accelerate follow-up work to guarantee on-time power generation.
The plant comprises two 410 t/h ultra-high-pressure CFB coal-fired boilers, one 100 t/h low-pressure gas-fired boiler and two B60 back-pressure steam-turbine sets. By coupling ultra-high-pressure parameters with back-pressure machines and operating coal-gas units in synergy, the complex maximises cascade energy use and provides firming capacity for the national advanced-materials industrial base.
