Construction of solar thermal power plant at altitude of 4,550 meters starts in China's Xizang

Located in a cold, high-altitude zone with low oxygen, the site allows construction only from April to October. The team has installed heating, oxygen supply and a hyperbaric chamber to ensure workers' health and safety.

Invested and developed by CGN New Energy (Damxung) Co., Ltd., the integrated project is scheduled for full commissioning by 2027.

Once operational, it is expected to generate about 719 million kWh annually, saving roughly 216,900 tonnes of coal equivalent and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 652,300 tonnes.
