Hami, enjoying around 3,200 hours of sunshine a year, has ample solar energy resources, and the project's location is among the best in the country.

China Energy Engineering Investment operates the project, which features a mirror field with a reflection area of 696,751 square meters and a 220-meter-high molten salt tower for heat absorption.

The power station can generate power around the clock because it can store solar energy and provide high-quality and stable electricity supply at night. It uses a "light-heat-electricity" power generation mode.
