Crescent Dunes Solar Thermal Power Plant
Sector: Solar • Location: Tonopah, Nevada, United States
Source: CPG Click Petróleo e Gás
The Crescent Dunes solar power plant in Nevada was built as a global benchmark in solar thermal energy with a cost of US$1 billion. It used solar thermal technology with 10,347 heliostats reflecting sunlight to a central tower to heat molten salts for energy generation. The plant faced operational delays, technical failures, and never met its production targets, delivering only about 40% of the ex

Description
Description | The Crescent Dunes solar power plant in Nevada was built as a global benchmark in solar thermal energy with a cost of US$1 billion. It used solar thermal technology with 10,347 heliostats reflecting sunlight to a central tower to heat molten salts for energy generation. The plant faced operational delays, technical failures, and never met its production targets, delivering only about 40% of the expected energy before ceasing operations in 2019. The project was eventually decommissioned and became a symbol of unfulfilled promises in the US solar energy sector. |
