It marks a monumental shift in the way the biggest energy consumer in the world produces its energy, continuing a trend that began to build up speed at the start of this decade.
Concentrated solar power (CSP), a renewable energy technology that has more or less dropped off the radar in the U.S., is quietly becoming competitive elsewhere. A recent analysis of power generation costs from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) revealed that CSP fell more steeply in cost last year than any other renewable technology.
Lusaka - Zambia’s energy deficiency may probably be over in the short and medium term following overwhelming interest from international companies to start solar operations in the Southern African country and the continent’s leading copper production.
