2. SPAIN IS A TOP EUROPEAN LOCATION FOR THE CSP INDUSTRY
Spain is one of the world’s leading locations for CSP investments.
At 1,102,4 MW (31/12/2011), Spain has the highest level of installed CSP capacity in the world next to the United States;
Spain has 1,500 MW of CSP capacity in the pipeline to be installed by 2015;
According to Sun & Wind Energy, “Spain is the nucleus of the current CSP boom”.
As opposed to other forms of renewable power generation, feed-in tariffs for CSP are secure;
Spain is the ideal location for international investors needing a presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region for the rapid growth of the CSP business already taking place in this region (e.g. Desertec initiative).
