As part of this years Concentrated Solar Power Summit 2010, you will get the chance to visit one of the most groundbreaking CSP sites in the world. Allowing you to see for yourself, up close and personal some of today’s most ground-breaking CSP technology that’s actually in the ground and producing power. The conference runs [...] BrightSource Energy, Inc., developer of utility-scale solar thermal power plants, announced this week that the U.S. Department of Energy has conditionally committed to provide $1.37 billion in loan guarantees to support the financing of BrightSource’s Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. The commitment to provide loan guarantees marks a key milestone in the development of the Ivanpah project, California’s [...] Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) announced that it has contracted with subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources and Abengoa Solar for delivery of a total of 500 megawatts (MW) of clean solar power. The agreements are among several solar deals recently signed by the utility with independent developers for a total of 830 MW. NextEra’s proposed [...] Petratherm advises that its wholly owned subsidiary, GeoSolar Limited, has been renamed Heliotherm Limited to reflect that its primary role is solar thermal technology development. “Helio” is taken from the Greek word for Sun. Heliotherm Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary company of Petratherm Limited, has entered into an exclusive agreement with the University of Adelaide to [...] Torresol Energy, a joint venture between Masdar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mubadala Development Company, and SENER, a leading international multidiscipline engineering company, with offices in Abu Dhabi, has secured US$760 million project finance loans for the construction of its twin Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants – Valle 1 and Valle 2 – in Andalucía, [...] The proposed Hualapai Valley Solar Project (HVS Project) is a 340MW concentrating solar power (CSP) plant in Mohave County, Arizona, approximately 27 miles north of Kingman and 100 miles south of Las Vegas on approximately 4,000 acres of private land. The HVS Project will use a proven technology that has been operational in the United [...] Power Engineering announced the selection of eSolar’s Sierra SunTower facility, a state-of-the-art solar thermal power plant, as the winner of “Best Renewable and Sustainable Project” at the 2009 Projects of the Year Awards. Each year, Power Engineering magazine editors recognize the world’s best projects in four major categories: gas-fired, coal-fired, nuclear and renewable. The award comes [...] The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently released for public comment a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and the California Energy Commission (CEC) released a Final Staff Assessment (FSA) for the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generation Project on public land in San Bernardino County, California. The joint DEIS/FSA is now open to public comment through February 11, 2010. [...] Policy Support Re-ignites the US Solar Thermal Market Summary The US has good future prospects for solar thermal energy. Many solar thermal plants with high installed capacities are currently under construction and others are in various stages of planning. California is the hub of most of the existing and expected solar thermal installations. This is mainly due [...] With the December 2010 deadline for obtaining incentive funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act only a year off, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director Bob Abbey today reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to helping the nation reach its “green energy future” by guaranteeing full environmental analysis and public review for the 31 renewable energy [...] Weidlinger Associates and Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science announced recentlythat they have recieved a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program grant, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), to expedite research of a “Hybrid Building Integrated Solar Energy System for Photovoltaic, Thermoelectric, and Heat Utilization.” The $150,000 award is [...] |
