Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) should be compared on its position to deliver clean power after sunset rather than its cost. This was emphasised by Cedric Philibert, Senior Analyst for the Renewable Energy Division at the International Energy Agency during a briefing on Tuesday.
Stakeholders with a vested interested in CSP technology and who are dedicated to achieving a less carbon base energy system, gathered at a conference in Cape Town earlier this week, to discuss the status of the clean power technology and its place in South Africa’s energy sector.
