In 2017, Australia announced that it was building the world's largest single-tower solar thermal power plant with a proposed output of 150 megawatts, although that project was ultimately killed in 2019.
Regarding global power generation, solar nearly doubled its share over the past 3 years, growing by 1.3 percentage points only last year to a 7% share in the world's electricity mix. This growth continued to drive renewable penetration and pushed additions of conventional electricity sources to a new low.
Several studies have demonstrated improvements in thermal efficiency and energy yield through innovative design and technological approaches. For example, Buck and Sment conducted a techno-economic analysis of multi-tower solar particle power plants and highlighted the advantages of dual-tower configurations.
In June, China announced that it had opened the world's biggest solar power plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang. The plant covers an area of 33,000 acres (200,000 Chinese mu) and is reported to have an output of 6.09 billion kWh annually.
The conventional solar PVs for each of the multiple phases of the project are expected to add an additional 800 MW of capacity to the 200 MW of tower power in concentrating solar-thermal
