SolarPACES interviewed Bernard Geldenhuys, the Senior Transactor in the Power and Infrastructure team at Investec Bank, a lender with 8,300 employees that has been closely involved in the 100 MW Redstone solar power tower since 2018, when its delayed PPA was signed with Eskom, as the first commercial bank to support the transaction, providing senior …
The 110-MW concentrated solar power (CSP) plant Cerro Dominador, located in Chile’s Atacama desert, will supply its electricity to a municipal civic centre in Greater Santiago. The Cerro Dominador company announced on Monday it had been awarded a contract in a tender process by the municipality of Lo Barnechea to supply power to the offices …
The world’s cheapest and most scalable energy storage technology has reached an important milestone as solutions for a reliable operation for at least 25 years and other key design requirements has now been certified by an independent third party. Danish renewable and energy storage specialist, Aalborg CSP has received the certificate for the unique Pit …
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority is set to commission the world’s tallest concentrated solar power (CSP) tower located within the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, in September. Standing tall at 262.44 m, the tower has a capacity of 100 MW in addition to 200 MW from parabolic trough. This is the largest single-site …
The next-generation of concentrated solar power plants will require high-temperature fluids, such as molten salts in the range of 550 to 750°C, to store heat and generate electricity. At those temperatures, however, molten salts eat away at common alloys used in heat exchangers, piping, and storage vessels of so-called concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. Engineers …
