China required from the first demonstration phase that each CSP project must include thermal energy storage, marking the first recognition globally of the value of the low cost and longevity of thermal energy storage. As a power station storing solar energy thermally, CSP operates like a gas plant to supply grid services like rolling reserves.
Between 2013 and 2021,12 out of 20 original CSP Phase I demonstration projects (totaling 1.349 GW) came online in China. Granted in 2016, they had originally been incentivized through a delivery-based step-down tariff to be complete in two years. (CSP had taken about four years in the US at around this time.)
To activate the undeveloped pilot projects, the National Energy Administration subsequently offered a slightly lower tariff if any could connect to the grid by 2021, to encourage confident startups like Cosin and Shouhang that emerged as major Tower CSP developers in China, to grab some of these lost opportunities.
Project details: NREL. The initial Beam-down Tower project was built in the demonstration phase at 50 MW near the city of Suzhou (Jiuquan) in Gansu Province. This photo taken in November 2022 shows Cosin Solar’s Tower CSP (100 MW) project in construction in Gansu Province for the 100 MW Jinta Zhonguang CSP project. (details at NREL.)

Their Phase I test and Phase II Pilots 10 MW and then 50 MW (as then-Supcon) were completed within the tough deadlines set.
