A drone photo taken on April 6, 2026 shows a view of a solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) integrated project by China General Nuclear Power Group in Damxung County of Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. China General Nuclear Power Group announced on Monday that construction of a 50 MW trough-based concentrated solar power plant at an altitude of 4,550 meters started in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
The solar thermal plant is part of a solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) integrated project, which can absorb curtailed PV power and effectively compensate for the intermittency and fluctuation of PV generation. (Xinhua/Tenzin Nyida)
