- International PV experts gather in San Jose Nov 30 –Dec 1 to discuss how to drive down LCOE and boost MW output through improved
What is the future for utility scale solar? According to recent reports and commitment from utilities in the Southwest and East coast USA, the future is optimistic. SEIA recently announced that utilities’ solar megawatts added to the grid grew from 169 MW in 2008 to 279 in 2009, a growth of 66 percent in a year when electricity demand as a whole declined as the result of an economic downturn.
03/09/2010 - Dr Farooq Abdullah in the opening ceremony of CSP TODAY INDIA
Dr Abdullah, the Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy of India demonstrated the commitment of the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy to the concentrated solar thermal power industry by opening the inaugural CSP TODAY INDIA event.
08/09/2010 - The rise of Fresnel technology is heavily aided by the consolidation in the CSP industry
The need for increasing project scale is driving a round of partnerships and acquisitions that could soon see the CSP industry reduced to a few vertically-integrated monoliths and this could be aiding the raise of the Fresnel technology with AREVA entering strongly this market.
21/09/2010 - Opening markets for CSP – the industrial heat application
Heavy industry can be a viable secondary market today for CSP producers, but questions remain on whether start-up costs are justifiable for industrial users, and how reliable CSP can be for processes that can't pace production by the sun.
22/09/2010 - Utilities looking for industry input on CSP Yield Optimization Engineering ahead of CSP Today’s Denver Conference
A crucial area of discussion when it comes to CSP Plant output engineering is the impact that CSP output optimization has on utility agreements, PPAs and ongoing LCOE, and the subsequent impact on the perception of the value of power produced through CSP
24/09/2010 - How can CSP developers add value to projects to make them attractive and irresistible to utilities/energy off takers
This is question at the forefront of everyone’s minds in the CSP industry, and when asked you will never get the same answer twice. The organisers of the CSP Project Development Conference (Oct 25 -26, Denver), posed this question to the industry as part of a competition to win a complimentary ticket to the event.
24/09/2010 - The right time for solar augmentation for the CSP industry
While demand for concentrated solar power augmentation of coal-fired plants is picking up with the recent announcement of a 5MW addition to a coal plant in Chile by GDF Suez & Solar Power Group but the fast development of this new market for CSP will only succeed as the costs come down significantly.
