Solve CSP development hurdles and increase your speed to market

A recent solar association report stated that as of March 2010 the USA had over 423MW of operational CSP in production, but 10,836MW being developed. The US CSP market presents a massive opportunity, but there are many hurdles faced in getting a project off the ground.

The agenda of this event will cover the most pressing issues for developing CSP projects in the USA including:

• Locating CSP land - learn how to master the trickiest stage of CSP project development through a comprehensive look at the technical, usability and cost issues related to developing on private and public land
• Getting Into The Grid – find out what you need to do to make sure your CSP plant is grid friendly direct from all the stakeholders involved in renewable energy transmission
• Smart CSP Procurement – discover what you need to know to develop a successful and cost effective network of CSP suppliers and technology providers
• Winning Profitable PPA’s – utility companies spell out for you how they plan to work with solar technology and give you an inside look at how you can negotiate the best possible PPA’s
• Sure Fire CSP Finance – get to grips with the best strategies to secure the funding your plant needs and hear best practice tips to win investor confidence

You can review the full summit agenda and make sure you secure your place before the last chance price expires.
