  • Sunshot Vision Study: February 2012
    SunShot Vision Study February 2012 5. Concentrating Solar Power: Technologies, Cost, and Performance 5.1 INTRODUCTION At the end of 2010, about 1,300 megawatts (MW) of concentrating solar power50 (CSP) capacity was in operation worldwide, with 512 MW in the United States. More than half of the U.S. capacity was built in southern California in the 1980s. More recently, there has been increased interest in CSP technologies as a result of greater demand for renewable energy, government-supported research and development (R&D), and improved economics through policy initiatives. In the past few years, multiple utility-scale plants have been built, and almost 12 gigawatts (GW) of capacity were under construction or under contract worldwide during 2010. Of this total, almost 10 GW represented CSP plants with signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) under development in the U.S. Southwest (SEIA 2010). CSP is composed of a diverse mix of technologies, at different stages of maturity, which convert sunlight into thermal energy and then use this thermal energy to generate electricity. A key characteristic of CSP is its built-in thermal inertia, which can provide stability in plant output during slight changes in solar radiation, such as when a cloud passes overhead. Because CSP uses thermal energy, it can also incorporate thermal energy storage (TES), fossil-fuel backup/hybridization, or both for higher levels of stability and dispatchability and increased duration of energy output. These attributes allow CSP plants to obtain capacity credits similar to those for fossil-fuel power systems and provide a firm energy resource that improves grid operations.

Ohio law now requires Ohio’s electric utilities to generate 12.5% of electricity sales from renewable energy sources and to enact programs that will reduce energy consumption by 22%, all by 2025. In passing the bill, policy makers of both parties argued that it would have economic and job creation benefits for Ohio. This report assesses SB 221’s effects on economic growth, emissions reductions, energy independence and energy savings, and finds that as long as utilities are reaching annual benchmarks, Ohio will see jobs created, less pollution and, in the long run, money saved. Ohio’s Renewable Energy Standard created a Renewable Energy Credit Market in Ohio, by guaranteeing that Ohioans and outside investors will have a commodity to sell when they invest in renewables here. As of June 2010, 508 applications had been filed at the Public Utility Commission of Ohio to projects as renewable energy resource generators. About 25% of those applications are for projects in Ohio (132), representing over 150 MW of potential homegrown capacity from solar, wind, hydro, and landfill gas, enough to power almost 115,000 homes.

  • Major Solar Projects.Xlsx
    Utility‐Scale Solar Projects in the United States Operating, Under Construction, or Under Development Updated January 17, 2012 Overview This list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of solar projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases, conversations with individual developers. It is not a comprehensive list of all utility‐scale solar projects under development. This list may be missing smaller projects that are not publicly announced. Particularly, many smaller projects located outside of California that are built on a short time‐scale may be underrepresented on this list. Also, SEIA does not guarantee that every identified project will be built. Like any other industry, market conditions may impact project economics and timelines. SEIA will remove a project if it is publicly announced that it has been cancelled. SEIA actively promotes public policy that minimizes regulatory uncertainty and encourages the accelerated deployment of utility‐scale solar power. This list includes ground‐mounted utility‐scale solar power plants larger than 1 MW that directly feed into the transmission grid. This list does not include large "behind the meter" projects that only serve on‐site load. One exception to this is large projects on military bases that only serve the base (see, for example, Nellis Air Force Base). While utility‐scale solar is a large and growing segment of the U.S. solar industry, cumulative installations for residential and non‐residential (commercial, non‐profit and government) solar total 841 MW and 1,634 MW, respectively.

  • Sunshot Vision Study: February 2012
    SunShot Vision Study February 2012 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The U.S. Department of Energy would like to acknowledge the project coordination and in-depth analysis conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the contributions by the Solar Energy Industries Association, Solar Electric Power Association, and the many organizations that participated in the development of this report. The preparation and production of this report was coordinated by New West Technologies, LLC, Energetics Incorporated, and NREL. All contributors to the report are listed in Appendix D. Cover photo renderings by Joshua Bauer, NREL MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE SUNSHOT INITIATIVE The SunShot Initiative was launched in February 2011 with the goal of making solar energy cost- competitive with conventional electricity generating technologies within the decade. Achieving this goal will require dramatic decreases in the cost structure of solar technologies—on the order of a 75% reduction—across all markets including residential, commercial, and utility-scale deployments of solar. To do this most effectively, the SunShot Initiative spans the full spectrum from basic science to applied research and development. It also spans across multiple U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) offices, including Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Advanced Research Projects Agency- Energy (ARPA-E) and the Office of Science (SC). The SunShot Vision Study explores the implications of achieving the SunShot Initiative’s targets both in terms of potential benefits as well as potential challenges. The potential benefits include solar contributing an increasingly significant share of electricity generation over the next 20 to 40 years, creating thousands of new jobs, and saving consumers money by placing downward pressure on electricity prices.
