The Australian unit of French energy major EDF has committed EUR 10 million (USD 10.8m) to Australian concentrated solar power (CSP) specialist Vast Renewables Ltd, with the companies planning to partner to develop CSP projects in Australia, Vast said on Friday. The capital commitment is contingent on closing Vast’s go-public merger with Nabors Energy Transition …
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has granted a €45 million loan for the construction of the Noor Midelt I hybrid concentrated solar power + PV plant. It will have a capacity of 800 MW. New funds have recently been allocated to the development of the Noor Midelt I hybrid solar project in …

The world’s initial Concentrated SolarPower (CSP) plants continue to use the legacy steam cycles of conventional thermal plants. But steam cycle is a mature technology with temperature-based efficiency limits, hampering the potential to raise efficiency and lower costs. Consequently, international researchers have investigated a new power cycle, a closed loop supercritical carbon dioxide cycle (s-CO2). …
