In order to boost the solar power industry to the next level as well as minimize the risks among, China's National Energy Administration has lately announced the National Solar Thermal Power Demonstration Project. This project has approved the first batch of solar thermal power demonstration plants.
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.
While the investment required for solar thermal power plants remain high, China is working to reduce costs and promote commercialization. According to the China Solar Thermal Alliance, the cost of electricity from tower solar thermal plants is expected to drop to 0.61 yuan per kilowatt-hour (kWh) by 2025 and to about 0.53 yuan per kWh by 2027.
According to statistics of the China Solar Thermal Alliance, by the end of 2021, the total installed capacity of global solar thermal power generation reached 6.8 GW, and the figure in China was 538 MW (only including power generation systems at or higher than the MW scale).

Top 11 Solar Panel Manufacturers in China : 2025 Industry Guide
The EU-China solar panel dispute has been an important chapter in global trade, focusing on accusations of dumping. The European Union claimed China was selling solar panels in Europe at unfairly low prices, supported by Chinese government subsidies. This practice hurt European manufacturers, who couldn''t compete with such low prices.
