HamiChina is building a 1,500 MW solar project with heat storage, Iranian state agency Mehr reported.
Xinhua, republished by Mehr, says it will cut about 2.26 million tonnes of CO2 a year.
Molten salt stores solar heat, which turbines can turn into power after dark.
The report gives no completion date, storage hours or cost.
How each outlet framed it
- Mehr News Agency leans favorable
- cites the project's 2.26 million tonnes of annual CO2 cuts and molten-salt storage to argue for steadier green power, repeating Xinhua's claims uncritically
