ESTELA Annual Summer Workshop
'Enhancing Solar Thermal Electricity Supply and Exchanges to Meet the EU Renewable Energy Targets for 2020 and beyond'
ESTELA held its Annual Summer workshop on 15 July 2010 at the Dominican in the heart of Brussels. Members of the Industry, Representatives of Members States and EU Institutions, as well as stakeholders in the field of renewable energy were gathered to hear about and discuss the activities of ESTELA in 2010, the current situation of CSP in Spain, the A.T. Kearney Cost Roadmap and the following policy issues:
Mediterranean Solar Plan (MSP)
A Representative of the French Ministry of Energy gave a presentation on the present implementation status of the MSP
Solar Thermal Electricity Industrial Initiative for the SET-Plan and New Entrants Reserve (NER 300)
The European Commission dedicated the afternoon to give practical information about financing instruments such as NER 300 and answer all the questions that the audience had.
This workshop proved very fruitful and ESTELA received excellent feedback from the participants.
A.T. Kearney and ESTELA: Solar Thermal Electricity 2025
Solar Thermal Electricity (STE) reaches marketability - Generation costs can be reduced by more than 50 percent by 2025.
A joint study by A.T. Kearney and ESTELA shows that the growing mid-term potential of STE to progressively substitute conventional energy sources and complement the renewable energy sources portfolio with a cost-competitive dispatchable solution. In the best case scenario the indsutry roadmap involves the creation of 100,000 to 130,000 jobs by 2025.
