High costs and lower than expected power generation Solar thermal power plants may be phased out

The novel "solar thermal technology" was once considered to replace solar panels as the "new favorite" in solar power technology, and recently, some experts pointed out that solar thermal power plants are far less than expected, and the cost is high, and this new technology may be eliminated
.

The "Avampa" solar thermal power plant in California's Mojave Desert uses "electric towers" to capture the sun's rays and produce steam
.
Experts originally expected to generate one million "megawatts per hour" of electricity per year, but since the start of the year and three months, the electricity generation has only been 40%
of the expected.
Hickauk, senior vice president of operator NRG Energy, said that the power generation was not as good as expected because of frequent damage to equipment, and the technology has only not been around for a long time, and there are many places that still need to be explored
.

According to the U.
S
.
Department of Energy, solar thermal power plants cost twice as much as traditional solar plants.
The United States is unlikely to build many solar thermal power plants, it is
too expensive.
