About This Dataset
Largest Concentrated Solar Power Stations 2026
Concentrated solar power uses mirrors to focus sunlight and drive a heat engine, rather than converting light directly with photovoltaic panels. Many of these stations store heat in molten salt so they can keep generating after sunset, which photovoltaic farms cannot do without batteries.
Analysis
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park Phase IV in the United Arab Emirates is the largest at 700 MW, 1.37 times the 510 MW of Ouarzazate. The 10 stations here total 3,102 MW. 5 of them are in the United States, and 4 countries are represented in total. The smallest on the chart, Andasol, is rated at 150 MW, 21% of the leader.
