Concentrated Solar Power technology isn’t new. But its time has come. Already – we have proof that the sun’s energy can supply homes and businesses with all the power they need… pollution free. Nevada Solar One in Las Vegas and PS10 in Seville are only the start of the CSP revolution.
Month by month, the CSP industry is making giant strides, with R&D continually developing components and techniques that can drive superior performance and higher returns on investment.
But, there’s still room for improvement. Top of everyone’s agenda is reducing the cost of CSP. And you can add to that policy and regulatory issues, energy storage, licensing, transmission, components, and plant design. And these are precisely the issues that are covered at the Concentrated Solar Power Summit 2008, in San Francisco, January 28 and 29 www.csptoday.com/us.
You will hear from Acciona, Sener, BrightSource Energy, Ausra, Solel, Schott, Worley Parsons, SMUD and many more, everything that you need to know on How to build – and run – a profitable Concentrated Solar Power plant; from cost reduction, heat storage, technology update, regulatory framework, state by state breakdown, utilities renewable portfolio, financial risk management , land and water securitisation, efficient construction and red tape.
At the Summit you’ll discover, step-by-step, how to take your CSP plant from planning right through to commercial implementation… without making the costly errors of many of your predecessors.
