Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Technology uses reflective surfaces to concentrate sunlight which is then converted to heat energy to create steam that drives turbines to generate electric power. CSP provides ample opportunity for the business to grow. The storage and backup abilities of CSP plants offers an added advantage for electric grids. CSP can be integrated with traditional thermal plants to provide a cost effective energy solution. Further the effective heat storage, high efficiency and low cost are the factors that makes CSP a promising technology to be used in heat storage system. CSP finds its wide application in automotive, pharmaceuticals, refineries, large building, and military bases.

Investor Corner
The concentrated solar power market offers abundant opportunity for the investors to generate business from concentrated solar power plants. Renewable energy sources are in great demand, and many economies across the globe are providing incentives to the private players to generate green energy. Further, the public private partnership is being worked on to make to the projects economical and allows small players to generate a lead in developing the concentrated solar power technology. Technology pundits such as Siemens are investing on steam generators and turbines to make concentrated solar power viable for large scale power generation. Additionally, the integration of thermal storage in concentrated solar power plants offers utilities and grid operators flexible electrical production capacity along with effective management of a share of variable energy derived from other renewable sources. Concentrated solar power in Middle Eastern countries is utilized in enhanced oil recovery of heavy oil from the reservoir. Companies such as Petroleum development Oman, Oman’s largest producer of oil and gas have implemented the thermal enhanced oil recovery in large scale, similar approach is being adopted by other petroleum companies. Concentrated solar power thus provides many avenues for investors and technology innovators to generate business from concentrated solar power projects.
Regional Insight
In 2013, the global concentrated solar power installed capacity increased by 36%. The concentrated solar power sector is expected to expand globally at a high CAGR. The new markets are providing opportunities for the development of concentrated solar power projects. Spain and the United States currently are the global leaders, while the number of countries with installed concentrated solar power is increasing. There is a noticeable trend towards the adoption of concentrated solar power. Spain is a pioneer in the concentrated solar power technology, earning by exporting its technology to the countries new to the market. There is a fast paced development of concentrated solar power in South Africa and Morocco. The irradiation levels in these countries are very suitable for concentrated solar power. Moreover, the “prorenewable” energy policy in the region is making the installation of concentrated solar power viable. Acute shortage of power in South Africa has made national power utilities to resort to load shredding in order to protect the grid from complete blackout. Renewable sources of energy have worked out well in this situation by providing the power during load shredding. In the United States, utilities have signed long term purchase agreements with developers securing income streams from the power plants. Similarly, utility scale solar is providing water desalination services in the Middle East. Concentrated solar power provides energy that can be used to power many applications that have the potential to transform nations both socially and economically.
