Concentrating Solar Power in Developing Countries: Regulatory and Financial Incentives for Scaling Up

By Natalia Kulichenko and Jens Wirth

At present, different concentrating solar thermal technologies (CST) have reached varying degrees of commercial availability. This emerging nature of CST means that there are market and technical impediments to accelerating its acceptance, including cost competitiveness, an understanding of technology capability and limitations, intermittency, and benefits of electricity storage. Many developed and some developing countries are currently working to address these barriers in order to scale up CST-based power generation
