1 day to go!
As summer breezes sweep across the plateau, a new journey for solar thermal power begins. The highly anticipated 2026 20th China CSP Conference will officially kick off tomorrow in Xining, Qinghai.
Building on two decades of dedicated efforts, this year's conference focuses on advancing the industrialization and scaled development of CSP through technological innovation. Aligned with the development goals for the solar thermal industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the conference will bring together academicians, experts, research institutes, industry chain enterprises, and project developers to discuss the future of high-quality solar thermal development, targeting 15 million kilowatts of installed capacity and pathways to reduce the levelized cost of electricity.
Highlights at a Glance:
95+ keynote presentations covering solar concentration and heat absorption, thermal storage and heat exchange, CSP plant construction and O&M, and other technology and industry directions
High-end industry dialogues, CSP Master Classes, and industry hot-topic debates—direct engagement with the industry's pain points and challenges
Centralized exhibition of industry chain technological achievements, featuring new products and solutions for precise alignment of technology and market
Post-conference site visit to the PowerChina Gonghe CSP Demonstration Plant on August 14 for an up-close look at a benchmark CSP project

Convening wisdom on the plateau, we chase the light forward. CSP features operational characteristics comparable to thermal power plants, poised to become the "ballast stone" power source of the new-type power system, bearing a vital mission in China's energy transition. The development path is now clear, and industry goals are firmly set. Tomorrow, we join our solar thermal colleagues from across the nation in Xining—the Summer Capital—to exchange ideas on technological innovation, explore pathways for scaled development, and witness the new opportunities unfolding for the solar thermal industry.
For registered attendees, please plan your travel accordingly and take precautions for high-altitude travel. We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
For industry colleagues who have not yet completed registration, on-site registration is still available. Join us for this annual solar thermal industry gala.
