Energy potential of concentrated solar power for Europe
In the light of the EU 2030 climate energy framework, MUSTEC (Market uptake of solar thermal electricity through cooperation) aims to explore and propose concrete solutions to overcome the barriers that hinder the deployment of concentrated...
Concentrated solar power plants to produce electricity at night thanks to storage technology
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can boost the conversion of solar thermal into electricity. They allow the efficient storage of heat during the day so that electricity production continues at night. Currently, the expansion of small an...
Kalulushi concentrated solar power plant in Zambia gears up for construction
Zambia is set construct Kalulushi concentrated solar plant in the Copperbelt Province as dough continues to bite in the country rendering hydro projects untenable. A Zambian subsidiary of the Chinese firm Sinohydro was chosen to carry out t...
Could Congress Commission a Government Agency Like WAPA to Build Concentrated Solar Power?
The USA seems like the most unlikely nation to nationalize a clean energy resource for the public good. So when one of the Democratic candidates announced a plan to do that, it was easy to dismiss the concept as pie in the sky. But in fact,...
