I assume this is a molten salt plant? If so, I didn't think that was a new thing because I've heard about it plenty before now. Is this the largest solar-thermal plant doing this? The first?
"In addition to creating steam, the heat transfer fluid is used to heat molten salt in tanks adjacent to the steam boilers. The thermal energy storage system includes six pairs of hot and cold tanks with a capacity of 125,000 metric tons of salt, and the molten salt is kept at a minimum temperature of 530 degrees Fahrenheit."
