CSP & PV – The Product Not the same product Not the same cost Not the same value Not comparable PV’s product represents a portion of CSP’s PV offers energy only CSP offers energy, storage, full dispatchability & grid ancillary services Utilities want what CSP provides, but cannot justify purchasing with current regulation Translation ……. Regulatory issue Without incentives, heading toward price driven decisions which are not good in the long-term for the grid
Advantage of a SENERTower Plant with Thermal Storage During the summertime, Gemasolar can supply energy continuously to the grid. *Gemasolar computer simulation for July
CSP vs PV -- Financing PV is considered more easily financeable US financing for CSP has mostly been DOE Internationally, CSP has been project financed Key is size. Mega projects do not make sense for project financing. US CSP developers need to rethink approach here to secure project financing. Torresol Energy & SENER are examples of successful project financings for CSP.
