Working with member countries, SolarPACES—Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems—has compiled data on concentrating solar power (CSP) projects around the world.

Working with member countries, SolarPACES—Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems—has compiled data on concentrating solar power (CSP) projects around the world that have plants that are either operational, under construction, or under development. CSP technologies include parabolic trough, linear Fresnel reflector, power tower, and dish/engine systems.

For individual concentrating solar power projects, you will find profiles that include background information, a listing of participants in the project, and data on the power plant configuration.

These pages should help utilities, financiers, manufacturers, and anyone interested in renewable-energy options to find information on the growing number of concentrating solar power projects around the world.


You can browse project profiles under the following categories:

  • Country—listing by one of 16 countries
  • Project name—alphabetical listing by full project name
  • Technology—listing by parabolic trough, linear Fresnel reflector, power tower, or dish/engine systems
  • Status—listing by whether projects have plants that are operational, under construction, or under development.


Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Projects by Country

In this section, you can select a concentrating solar power (CSP) project from the alphabetical listing of project names below. You can then review a profile covering project basics, participating organizations, and power plant configuration data for the solar field, power block, and thermal energy storage.

In this section, you can select a status—either operational, under construction, or under development—of concentrating solar power (CSP) projects. You can then select a specific project and review a profile covering project basics, participating organizations, and power plant configuration data for the solar field, power block, and thermal energy storage.

  • Operational—projects with working power plants that are producing electricity
  • Under Construction—projects where ground has been broken and construction is still in progress
  • Under Development—projects having a signed agreement, but actual construction is still pending. Announced projects without signed agreements are not included in this database.
