Concentrated Solar Power Could Compete with Natural Gas, Study Says

A new study is out that indicates how a network of utility scale concentrating solar power plants could provide the same grid reliability as conventional power plants in some regions, without costing any more than gas-fired power plants.

The new study, Potential for Concentrating Solar Power to Provide Baseload and Dispatchable Power, was conducted under the auspices of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.  It has just been published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
