An Australian-controlled developer deploying proven, gigawatt-scale Chinese molten-salt tower CSP technology as dispatchable, round-the-clock power and high-temperature industrial heat.
Firm clean power
Heliostat field
Thermal storage
Pilbara industryWA mining and mineral processing face rising energy costs, mounting carbon liability, and a long-duration firming gap that short batteries cannot close. Cheap daytime solar is already solved — the hard part is firm power at 8pm, process steam at midnight, and stability in a weak, islanded grid.
Pilbara region, Western Australia
China's tower-CSP fleet represents approximately 1.7 GW across 27 commercial plants as of end-2025. These are not demonstration units — they are grid-connected plants with years of operating data behind them.
Molten-salt storage delivers 8–14 hours of dispatchable output. The steam turbine provides synchronous grid inertia — the kind of grid strength that PV and batteries cannot replicate.
Dry-cooled from day one. PV + small battery + CST tower shaping firm 24/7 supply and process heat — matched to the region's arid conditions and high direct-normal irradiance.
We run an honest desktop screen before optimising anything. Technology configuration is selected once the host's duty profile is clear. No speculative builds.
High-temperature solar heat captured by a heliostat field, stored in molten salt, and released on demand as firm power or process heat — day and night. The steam turbine provides synchronous grid inertia at no extra cost.
"CST is not the cheapest daytime kilowatt-hour — PV is. For the specific job of firming a 24/7 industrial load and supplying high-temperature heat, nothing else does it more cheaply. If PV and batteries serve you best, we will say so."
CST benchmarked against PV, BESS, wind, gas and electrification — with a clear go / no-go verdict for your site.
