Concentrating Solar Power Projects: Solar Paces

Concentrating Solar Power Projects by Status

In this section, you can select a status—either operational, under construction, or under development—of concentrating solar power (CSP) projects. You can then select a specific project and review a profile covering project basics, participating organizations, and power plant configuration data for the solar field, power block, and thermal energy storage.

  • Operational—projects with working power plants that are producing electricity
  • Under Construction—projects where ground has been broken and construction is still in progress
  • Under Development—projects having a signed agreement, but actual construction is still pending. Announced projects without signed agreements are not included in this database.

You can use other sorting options to access information on CSP projects.
