On April 6, 2026, the 50 MW CGN Dangxiong Umatang project, the world's highest altitude trough solar thermal power plant contracted by Northwest Institute, officially started construction. This project adopts 6-hour molten salt heat storage technology and is the first commercial application of domestically produced 8.6-meter large open slot heat collectors. In the face of extreme environments such as high altitude and hypoxia, Northwest Institute will rely on its leading solar thermal performance and technological strength in China to carry out special research and development, and make every effort to create a benchmark project for high-altitude.Editor/Cheng Liting
