China completes world's highest solar thermal plant at 15,000 ft altitude
China has finished building the world's highest solar thermal power plant, situated at an altitude exceeding 15,000 feet. The facility, named Tushuo, has a capacity of 100 MW and features 15,927 mirrors that focus sunlight onto molten salts to store heat energy. This thermal storage mechanism allows the plant to continue generating electricity even after dark. Once connected to the power grid, the plant is expected to supply electricity to around 50,000 homes annually.
