ACTION PLAN AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COLLABORATIVE CSP DEVELOPMENT IN EUROPE

An Action Plan is a proposed strategy or course of action. Specifically, it’s a document that lists the steps needed to achieve a goal, it clarifies what resources will be needed to reach that goal, it presents a timeline for the tasks to get to that goal and it determines which stakeholders need to be involved to implement the aspired changes.

REPORT: GEOPOLITICS AND ENERGY SECURITY OF CSP DEPLOYMENT FOR DOMESTIC USE AND INTRA-EUROPEAN TRADE IN THE TIME OF COVID-19

Concentrating solar power (CSP) is one of the few renewable power technologies capable of generating dispatchable electricity on demand. As such, it could have a key role to play in the transition of the European power system, both to supply bulk renewable power and to balance fluctuating wind power and solar PV. Despite this, CSP is a non-issue on most European policy agendas.

MUSTEC ONLINE SURVEY ON “MEASURES TO SUPPORT CSP DEVELOPMENT THROUGHT COOPERATION PROJECTS IN EUROPE

MUSTEC ONLINE SURVEY ON “MEASURES TO SUPPORT CSP DEVELOPMENT THROUGHT COOPERATION PROJECTS IN EUROPE

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.

MUSTEC WORKSHOP ON "HOW TO FACILITATE THE ACCEPTANCE OF CSP COOPERATION PROJECTS BETWEEN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN EUROPE"

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.
