The Huanghe Qinghai Delingha Solar Project is an 810-megawatt concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in northern China. The facility, which is still under construction, will contain six solar concentrating towers and is expected to supply electricity to more than one million people in the surrounding area. In a CSP plant, thousands of heliostat mirrors are arrayed in concentric circles and reflect sunlight onto a central “power tower,” where water is heated to 1,000°F, which generates steam, spins turbines, and produces electricity.
