The Cerro Dominador group is working with strong construction partners on its Likana CSP project to cut costs and beat gas plant prices, buoyed by progress at its first plant in Chile, Fernando Gonzalez, CEO of Cerro Dominador, told the CSP Madrid 2019 conference. As developer Cerro Dominador nears completion of Latin ...
Vast Solar's quest to build Australia's first large-scale CSP plant could soon be boosted by new offtake contracts with the mining sector. ...
No workers were injured, it said. The first utility-scale CSP plant in Latin America, Cerro Dominador is being built by an EPC consortium owned by Acciona (51%) and technology supplier Abengoa (49%) under a turnkey contract. ...
The developer of the world's first commercial beam-down CSP plant predicts a four-fold hike in thermal efficiency for a larger 200 MW plant. As CSP developers seek new ways to cut costs, a new 50 MW beam-down tower plant in China will provide valuable insights into an emerging CSP ...
Acciona will work with Tenaska to complete the projects and plans to bring online eight of the plants, representing 1.5 GW of peak power capacity, by 2023, the company said. The Spanish company already has 1.2 GW of wind power capacity installed or under construction in North America and operates a 64 MW concentrated solar power (CSP) plant near ...
Egypt advances plan for five new CSP plants The Egyptian government and Cairo-based Smart Engineering Solutions are moving ahead with a plan to build five CSP plants for a total capacity of 250 MW, Egyptian media reported earlier this month. ...
The ground-breaking 110 MW Cerro Dominador CSP plant could start commissioning by end of 2019 and the fund-owned developer is studying larger projects at three other sites in northern Chile, Francisco Vizcaino, Project Director at Cerro Dominador, told New Energy Update. After a troubled start, Latin America's first utility-scale CSP ...
Morocco has already completed three CSP plants at its Noor Ouarzazate solar park for a combined capacity of 510 MW. All three plants were developed by a group led by ACWA Power. Lebanon to study feasibility of 50 MW CSP plant The Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC) has issued a request for proposals ...
Australian developer Vast Solar recently announced plans to build a 50 MW CSP-PV plant in New South Wales and predicts its design will be competitive with coal and gas plants. ...
The hybrid design will provide installation savings by reducing the size of the solar field compared with a stand-alone CSP project, Baudson added. The PV field will be constructed in parallel to the CSP plant. ...
Combined CSP-CSH plants require more bespoke configurations, reducing the potential for economies of scale and series. ...
Cerro Dominador signs PPA with Copec energy group Cerro Dominador, Latin America's first CSP plant, has signed a five-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Chilean fuel distributor Copec, Cerro Dominador, a subsidiary of EIG Global Energy Partners, said December 11. ...
The combination of short-term weather forecasting and smart technology could significantly boost CSP revenues. "Nowcasting" of DNI predictions for the 15 minutes ahead could increase CSP efficiency by 8% for CSP tower plants and 4% for parabolic trough plants, European researchers said in the 2018 paper, ...
CSP generation costs could drop to $77/MWh by 2025 but storage and hybrid solar plants can provide further value by following load, Jose Alfonso Nebrera, Director of Spanish engineering firm ACS SCE, said at the MENASOL 2016 conference on May 26. ...
The REIPPPP has thus far procured 3.4 GW of wind, 2.4 GW of PV and 400 MW of CSP capacity and has attracted 193 billion rand ($13 billion) of private sector investments. ...
