CSP developers predict rising wind and solar capacity will open up new opportunities to provide flexible power generation and overnight supply. Wind and solar capacity has soared on the back of falling technology costs, but the higher the penetration, the smaller the incremental benefits to the grid. At the same time, Western countries and others …
