A key element of LADWP’s renewable energy program is the development of local solar, particularly customer based programs that tap into the city’s abundant sunshine and provide residents and busine...
In the past decade, the cost of electricity produced by CSP has dropped more than 50 percent thanks to more efficient systems and the wider use of thermal energy storage, which allows solar energy to be dispatchable around the clock and increase the time each day that a solar power plant can generate energy. SETO is working to make CSP even more affordable, with the goal of reaching $0.05 per kilowatt-hour for baseload plants with at least 12 hours of thermal energy storage. In September 2021, DOE released the Solar Futures Study, a report that ...

Over the course of two and a half years, the Generation 3 Concentrating Solar Power Systems (Gen3 CSP) funding program evaluated three technology pathways that could enable high temperatures and, thereby, highly efficient CSP plants. Each pathway was a phase of matter used to transfer heat: liquid, solid particle, or gaseous/supercritical fluid. On March 25, 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) would be awarded $25 million to build a next-generation CSP plant using the solid-particle pathwa ...
