CSP-Finance Financing Concentrating Solar Power in the Middle East and North Africa

Description: Das Projekt "CSP-Finance Financing Concentrating Solar Power in the Middle East and North Africa" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, Institut für Technische Thermodynamik, Abteilung Systemanalyse und Technikbewertung durchgeführt. In June 2010, the DLR Group of Systems Analysis started an investigation about innovative financing of Concentrating Solar Power Plants (CSP) in countries of the Middle East and North Africa. We found a possible strategy for the market introduction of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) that will not require considerable subsidization and will not constitute a significant burden for electricity consumers in the region. In the first section, the paper explains the need of MENA countries for sustainable supply of electricity and calculates the cost of electricity for a model case country. In the second part, the cost development of concentrating solar power plants is calculated on the basis of expectations for the expansion of CSP on a global level. After that, the challenges for the market introduction of CSP in MENA are explained. Finally, we present a strategy for the market introduction of CSP in MENA, removing the main barriers for financing and starting market introduction in the peak load and the medium load segment of power supply. The paper explains why long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) for CSP should be calculated on the basis of avoided costs, starting in the peak load segment. Such PPA are not yet available, the paper aims to convince policy makers to introduce them. The attached power point file shows some examples of time series of load and supply by CSP in the different load segments and shows the graphs used in the report. The attached Excel Sheet gives the time series of load and supply by CSP for the different load segments for a total reference year.
