The benefits of CSP:

Aligned with growing energy demands, renewable mandates, environmental sensitivity

• Concentrating solar power is reliable, flexible and dispatchable
• Concentrating solar power, when integrated with thermal storage, closely matches peak demand
• Generation is not constrained to when the sun is shining
• Concentrating solar power is environmentally sustainable
• When coupled with dry-cooling, concentrating solar power technologies use little water
• Concentrating solar power reduces carbon emissions and improves air quality for local communities

The Alliance’s membership is drawn from many of the world’s leading concentrating solar power technology companies and their supply-chain partners. It provides clear value to members in promoting this reliable, sustainable and cost effective technology.
