The largest solar molten salt power station
The project includes 10,347 heliostats that collect and focus the sun's thermal energy to heat molten salt flowing through an approximately 656-foot (200 m) tall [13] solar power tower. Each heliostat is made up of 35 6×6 feet (1.8 m) mirror facets, yielding a heliostat overall usable area of 1,245 square feet (115.7 m 2 ).
The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project is aproject with an installed capacity of 110(MW)and 1.1 gigawatt-hours of energy storagelocated near , about 190 miles (310 km) northwest of.
The project'swas , which carried out the engineering design, procured the equipment and materials necessary, and then constructed and delivered the facility to Tonopah Solar Energy. The project includes 10,347that.

In late September 2011 Tonopah Solar Energy received a $737 millionfrom the(DOE) and the right to build on public land. The capital stack included $170,000,000 ininvestment through.
Crescent Dunes began operation in September 2015,but went off-line in October 2016 due to a leak in a molten salt tank. It returned to operation in July 2017.While its average monthly production was expected to exceed 40,000 .

Dubai’s new CSP plant, the world’s largest, collects heat and stores it as molten salt – an ideal solution for big solar projects in unpredictable conditions.
The Huadian Haijing Salt-PV Complementary Power Station, constructed over a 3294-acre (1,333-hectare) salt field with a total capacity of 1 GW, was recently connected to the grid in Tianjin, China.
The largest CSP plant being constructed in the world is the 700-MW combined parabolic trough and power tower system in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Shouhang Dunhuang 100 MW Molten Salt Tower CSP (concentrated solar power) Plant, located in China's Dunhuang City, is designed to generate 390 million kWh of power annually.
