South Africa’s Redstone Concentrated Solar plant should be complete by 2024
The Redstone Concentrated Solar Plant is located between Tsanstabane and Kgatelopele in the Northern Cape.Once complete the solar plant will contribute 100MW to the national grid.
These power plants feature mirrors or lenses which focus sunlight from a wide area into a single point. This energy is then used to heat an engine such as a turbine which is then connected to an electrical power generator. You’ve likely seen one of these arrays in movies or TV series before. The plant is comprised of four key components namely the solar field, the molten salt receiver, thermal energy storage and the connection to the grid.
