PANEL DISCUSSIONS ON HOT ISSUES
Advantages, Challenges and Potential Solutions for CSP's Development in MENA Countries - CSP System
MENA regions own excellent DNI resources, drives of getting rid of traditional fuels and ambitions
of energy revolution. As a dispatchable power source, how CSP contribute to this region? What are
the benefits this technology could bring to the markets? What obstacles and challenges it is facing
with and what are the solutions? In the future, how to develop CSP in this market, and how is CSP’s
non-electricity utilization prospect?
Advantages, Challenges and Potential Solutions for CSP's Development in MENA Countries - CSP Market
Every market has its own challenges when developing CSP projects. UAE is accelerating the construction of
NOOR Energy 1 CSP project, questions arise such as pressure from low tariff, short construction period,
logistics challenges…etc. Morocco has done very well in the past years but how to cooperate better with
developers in CSP project promotion? Other countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Egypt…, what are
their own problems if CSP be taken into consideration?
Hybrid Plants with Energy Storage
Combination of Solar PV+ CSP has been proposed as a novel solution for low cost dispatchable
power source, such as Dubai’s NOOR Energy 1 project and Morocco’s NOOR Midelt project. Is it
the trend that CSP will develop? What are problems for CSP+PV hybrid plant and how to overcome?
How is the cost? How to balance the scale to reach the optimum economic benefit? How about other
renewables to be hybridized with CSP plus storage? Their strengths, difficulties and opportunities.
Increase CSP's Bankability
It is important that MENA CSP projects to receive financial support from bankers. WB, EIB, Silk Road
Fund…and many other investors have assist in RE project promoting but there are still lot of questions. What
are the concerns when offering a loan? How project developers collaborate with investors to eliminate their
worries? Besides traditional financing, are there any new mechanisms to receive financing support such as
green bond…etc.?
