Molten salt solar power station largest of its kind

China's solar thermal power generation companies have mastered the core technology of building large-scale molten salt tower thermal power stations, and are ready to go global, industry experts said.

On Dec 28, China's first 100-megawatt-class molten salt tower thermal power station entered operation in the photoelectric industrial park in Dunhuang, Northwest China's Gansu province.

The achievement marks China's emergence as one of the few countries in the world to master the technology.
