247Solar close to commercializing modular concentrating solar plant

The 247Solar Plants are modular and most of the components are mass produced and can be assembled on site.

PV may help CSP reduce its LCOE by 18% in Saudi Arabia

Researchers have found that the current levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for concentrated solar power (CPS) plant in Saudi Arabia could be as low as $0.137/kWh. However, combining the tech with PV would significantly enhance the cost competitiveness of CSP.

Australian developer secures EDF’s support for CSP plans

Australian solar thermal specialist Vast Renewables aims to accelerate the development of its concentrated solar power (CSP) technology with a AUD 16.37 million ($10.7 million) capital commitment from French energy giant EDF Renewables.

Europe’s largest CSP plant for self-consumption goes online in Spain

Heineken España and Engie España have commissioned a 30 MW concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in Seville, Spain, with 68 MWh of storage capacity, marking the inauguration of Europe’s largest concentrated solar power plant.

Synhelion starts building solar tower for cement production

Synhelion’s solar tower technology harnesses energy from a field of solar mirrors and concentrates it onto a receiver. The receiver converts the solar radiation into high-temperature process heat, which is then directed to a thermal chemical reactor. This reactor produces syngas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2).

Morocco unveils selected bidders for 400 MW solar tender

The Moroccan authorities are tendering a solar complex that combines 400 MWp of PV and two hours of storage.

Vast Solar secures funds for Australia’s first concentrated solar power plant

Vast Solar will move forward with plans to deliver Australia’s first commercial-scale concentrated solar power (CSP) plant after securing financial backing from the federal government to build a 30 MW/288 MWh facility in South Australia.
