The document discusses concentration solar power (CSP) and concentration photovoltaic (CPV) technologies. It provides an overview of CSP technologies including parabolic troughs, power towers, and dishes/engines. It discusses project development considerations like site issues, permitting, and financing. Generation costs are expected to decline but support schemes will still be needed. CPV is less mature than CSP but aims to lower costs through optical concentration and mass production. Both technologies are expected to see significant market growth in the coming decades.
