Morocco expects price drop for hybrid CSP plant, widens funding sources
Morocco’s renewables procurement process has been a key driver of CSP deployment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Morocco has set a target of 40% of installed capacity from renewable resources by 2020, rising to 52% by 2030, equivalent to 6 GW of new capacity. Managed by Masen, the renewable program supported the …

US CSP tests to reveal hotter storage route to market viability
In May, the Department of Energy (DOE) launched its Generation 3 Concentrating Solar Power Systems (Gen3) CSP program to create cost-effective CSP plus storage designs which heat transfer fluids (HTFs) to over 700 degrees C. The DOE will provide funding to three competing research projects with the aim of lowering the cost of CSP by …
