Economic Development Zones powered by Round the Clock Solar

New clean energy technologies enable emerging countries to attract new industries and create jobs

Emerging economies require growing capacities of reliable power 24 hours a day, not just when the sun shines or the wind blows. And yet sovereign and private financing of baseload fossil fuel power plants to sustain and grow 24/7 power is rapidly disappearing.

Now new clean power generation technologies are rapidly emerging to fill this critical void, and their ability to produce economic and social benefits far outweigh the benefits of fossil plants.

Their largest economic value will be in their ability to create Solar Economic Development Zones. Unlike fossil plants, EDZs offer highly reliable, clean, 24/7 power in smaller-sized capacities, near the point of use, reducing transmission-related expenses and stabilizing grids. But in addition, EDZs offer highly reliable, clean, 24/7 industrial-grade HEAT. Such EDZs attract industries and create 21st-century jobs.

Additional country benefits include:

Clean baseload power below the country’s current cost of baseload power
Up to 40 years of stable and predictable power (and heat) costs
Reduced dependence on power from neighboring countries
Reduced dependence on imported fossil fuels for power generation
Fewer grid outages
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions from power generation and industrial steam
Baseload power at the highest possible reliability and capacity factors
Baseload power built and operated primarily by local citizens
Technical education and training of local citizens

Join 247Solar CEO Bruce Anderson and his team for a round-table interactive discussion. The session will:

Explore in more detail the concept of Solar Economic Development Zones.
Discuss how distributed, round-the-clock, affordable carbon-free power and heat can help governments, utilities, and communities ignite growth, improve lives, and accelerate the clean energy transition across Africa.
Discuss barriers and workarounds to those barriers facing the deployment of Solar Economic Development Zones.

CSP – Comeback or Requiem?

247Solar Media — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 22:14:21 +0000

CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) – comeback or requiem?

What are the market opportunities for CSP? Which type of CSP designs are succeeding? Why does the LCOE of CSP decline so dramatically?

The answers to these questions, and more, can be seen and heard in the webinar held to unveil our report and forecast, Last Chance Saloon for Gen 3 CSP which details how a near-forgotten type of renewable energy and is about to stage a comeback.

Rethink’s Solar Analyst and host, Andries Wantenaar was joined by guest speakers Bruce Anderson, CEO of 247Solar, John Ingram, CEO of Focal Line Solar, and Craig Wood CEO of Vast Solar. Each giving a brief presentation of their work, the event was followed by discussion and a lively Q&A session from the audience.
