Harnessing the Sun: Concentrated Solar Power Systems

As the world continues to grapple with the effects of climate change and the urgent need to transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources, concentrated solar power (CSP) systems have emerged as a promising solution. Unlike traditional solar photovoltaic (PV) panels that convert sunlight directly into electricity, CSP systems use mirrors or lenses to concentrate …

Why Concentrated Solar Power is the kind of solar that could replace natural gas plants

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a dispatchable form of solar CSP power plants, like photovoltaic (PV) solar farms, are 100% solar and have stable prices, as both sell their projected generation over a 25-30 year period in a contract at a preset price per kWh. However, as a solar technology, CSP requires sun to make …

Assessing the sustainability impacts of concentrated solar power deployment in Europe in the context of global value chains

Considering that CSP could be promoted in Europe, additional installed capacity will have positive or negative impacts on the economy, society and the environment, or trigger higher or lower energy supply dependence from non-European economies. Components will be produced, intermediate inputs (both domestic and imported) will be required, commodities will be extracted and personnel will …

Why Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) beats Photovoltaic (PV) at less than 3 USD cents per kWh

The cost of renewable energy is dropping every year, and this year we saw record low cost Photovoltaic (PV) projects such as the 800 MW project in Dubai offered at 2.99 US$ cents/kWh. So how is it that concentrating solar power (CSP) is still an attractive technology compared to PV? The answer lies in the …
