Parabolic-Trough Technology Roadmap January 1999 Figure 13. System development activity time line MARKET DEVELOPMENT Market development refers to all aspects of marketing and developing solar power projects. Key areas of focus identified by the workshop participants are the market creation, financing issues, risk reduction, taxation policy, resource assessment, and analysis tools. MARKET CREATION Although a number of countries are interested in parabolic-trough technology, no real projects are currently under way. Representatives from many countries express interest yet do not have the mandate from their government or power market environment to facilitate a real project opportunity. In this type of environment, many countries are looking for small custom pilot projects to evaluate. In addition, projects of this type must typically make their way through a complex maze of government bureaucracy full of potential pitfalls. This type of environment is not conducive to creating a healthy market or providing an environment that will help drive technology prices to competitive levels. ÿ Market Aggregation One approach under consideration is to aggregate GEF grant-type projects into a single- project, multiple-build scenario. In essence, this concept would develop three trough projects in different countries (though, perhaps, in the same region). The projects would be developed and financed as a single package and built in a phased approach. This approach would help reduce the cost of the projects and allow for lessons learned at one project to be used in the next. ÿ Solar Power Parks Although much effort is currently focused on developing the next project, it is important to look at the long-term market. If trough technologies are to eventually provide a significant contribution to the global power mix, they will need to be developed in large solar power park environments. Solar power parks offer a number of advantages through economies of scale and opportunities for continuous builds that can help drive prices down and overall efficiency up. The current focus should be on identifying the best regions and beginning to develop the policies that would enable the power parks to be developed. FINANCING ISSUES One of the key issues facing the development of large, grid-connected concentrating solar power technologies is the amount of capital resources required to finance projects. If the technology is successful, a multibillion-dollar capital market could emerge. As such, it is important to understand and address key issues relevant to trough technologies. ÿ Low-Cost Capital Access to low-cost capital is essential for capital-intensive technologies such as parabolic- trough power plants. Currently, projects require a risk premium on both equity and debt over the rates charged to conventional power technologies. Efforts must be made to reduce the risk premium and actively search for low-cost capital that is available to environmentally friendly technologies.
