CSP retains a strong niche at the utility-scale and in combined heat and power applications, where no amount of PV cost-reduction is expected to overcome its inherent technology advantages. |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q4 2012 will also be exceptionally strong for CSP installations, with more than 140 megawatts slated to go online. |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Concentrating Solar Power technologies are expected to grow at a faster rate than photovoltaics due to new markets like China, India, Brazil, Canada, Germany and France opening up. |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
The programme will also provide up-to-date information on PV (Photovoltaics) and CSP (Concentrated Solar Thermal Power). |
||
|
|

Morocco plans to soon announce which international consortium has won the bid to start work on a 160-megawatt concentrating solar power plant to be built in the southern city of Ouarzazate. |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
The programme was to enable the setting up of several solar photovoltaic projects for 100 MW, and two concentrated solar power projects of 50 MW each. |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Since launch of the JNNSM, the capacity of solar power projects has grown from 8 MW in January 2010 to over 979 MW in the country (photovoltaic and concentrated solar power). |
