Spring 2023 Solar Industry Update

CSP Capacity (GWac) 7 6 ம + 1 0 . Global CSP Capacity Over half of CSP projects in operation have storage, with 36% of the capacity having 6 hours or more of storage. • Projects under construction, on average, have storage, and longer hours of storage, than those currently in operation. Hours of Storage 10+ hrs. 6-10 hrs. 2-6 hrs. <2 hrs. No Storage CSP Capacity (GWac) N 3 LO St 6 Operational Under Construction Sources: Richard Thonig, Alina Gilmanova & Johan Lilliestam. (2023).
