The solar thermal could fall to 45 euros / MWh in 2020 for some Concentrated Solar Power projects
Solar thermal or Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is not just one more renewable. Its great asset is that it allows availability and dispatchability (ability to generate electricity depending on the need of the network) thanks to its thermal storage and therefore it is possible that it manages production on demand, even more if it is … Continue reading The solar thermal could fall to 45 euros / MWh in 2020 for some Concentrated Solar Power projects
