10 5 GW of operational installed base for CSP vs 227 GW of PV vs GW of wind 350 Source: IEA (2016) CSP Industry - Status GW Operational Solar Thermal PV Wind CSP and offshore wind are in their deployment infancy, these technologies are already attractive in some markets, with costs continuing to fall IRENA, June

11 But CSP has added value. CSP Industry - Status Their built-in storage capabilities allow CSP plants to supply electricity on demand IEA, 2014 The ability to shift generation to when the sun is not shining and/or the ability to maximize generation at peak demand times allows CSP to have reduced LCOE IRENA, 2016 CSP offers a wide variety of ancillary services that are becoming increasingly valuable as shares of PV and wind, both variable renewables increase in the electricity mix IEA,

12 CSP Industry - Status Estela Data > 5GW operational installed base > 23,700 GWh/year of electricity production worldwide > 23,000 jobs created per year 12

15 CSP Industry - Status The Economist - Letters Mar 11th 2017 Energy policies are increasingly and mistakenly geared towards expanding renewable energy as an end in itself, rather than achieving carbon reductions and maintaining reliability. The cost of providing system backup power or storage is not reflected in the wind and solar levelised cost of energy or the market price. With more renewable production, these shadow costs escalate because a full-sized system of on demand power or oversize seasonal storage (which does not practically exist today) is needed to cover multiple days and weeks when there is little wind or sun. If it existed, this storage system would face the same challenge that capacity markets face in a high renewables world: large capital costs and low usage. High renewable penetration makes all forms of energy production intermittent and therefore costly. Most studies suggest that achieving a low carbon grid at a manageable cost will require a mixture of nuclear, gas with carbon capture or other zero carbon on-demand sources in addition to renewables. To redesign markets to facilitate very high uptake of renewable energy for its own sake is indeed a way to turn the world, and economic logic, upside down.

17 An impression of the CSP Industry Status UAE The Gulf state plans to invest 119bn ($150bn) in renewable power to 2050, weaning the country from dependency on subsidized natural gas power in stages, Minister of Energy Suhail Al-Mazrouei (UAE) said at a conference in Berlin. Clean energy sources will help it save 153bn ($192bn), he said. 17
