Even though the value of CSP as a dispatchable RE technology that can add to system stability is widely acknowledged and the cost for electricity generated by CSP has dropped significantly in the past years, global CSP deployment has recently shifted away from the former front-runner countries in Europe to markets in Asia and the MENA region.

Update: The MUSTEC Spanish workshop took place online on 4th of November 2020. The workshop aimed at generating ideas to facilitate the acceptance of future CSP joint projects between the North and South of Europe. It was focused on the perceived risks and benefits as important determinants for the acceptance of this kind of projects.

Gustav Resch (TU Wien) and Richard Thonig (IASS) represented MUSTEC at the digital “Policy panel” of SolarPACES conference on the 28th – 29th of September 2020. The presentations were focused on CSP Integration, Markets, and Policy and more specifically, discuss the role that Chinese CSP can play for the world, as well as the ongoing decarbonization of the European Power Sector and how CSP can contribute to this target.
