Other energy storage options struggle to hold their output for such long durations. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority said it was making progress on its 260-metre 100 MW Concentrated Solar Power tower, which is expected to continue generating power for overnight after sunset by heat stored in molten salt. The tower is part of the third phase of a $ 13.6bn solar park project that will also include a parabolic trough set to add 600 MW by heating a tube of fluid. The whole 100 MW fourth stage had a contract for $ 13.6bn per kWh which is claimed to be the lowest of its kind. The third , 800 MW, phase is set for completion in the longest day .
