Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f11c88/global_concentrate) has announced the addition of the "Global Concentrated Solar Power Markets and Strategies, 2007-2020" report to their offering.

For the first time in 17 years, solar CSP is making its way into utility generation portfolios. Spain and California are leading development, with over 5,800 MW of Solar CSP projects in the planning stages worldwide. EER estimates a potential investment of $20 billion in Solar CSP markets over the next five years.

EER's solar CSP market study provides a comprehensive analysis of emerging solar CSP markets, evaluates the competitive strategies of key market players, and forecasts the impact of existing and next generation CSP technologies.

Global Concentrated Solar Power Markets and Strategies, 2007-2020 answers these key questions and more:

• What strategies are developers using to compete in an increasingly global market?

• Which solar CSP technologies will have the greatest impact in the near-term?

• What companies are expanding along the industry value chain?

• How are manufacturers positioning themselves to meet demand?

• How are regulatory mechanisms impacting future CSP growth?

Solar CSP study features market intelligence on the following:

• Solar CSP market drivers and inhibitors

• CSP technologies (parabolic trough, central receiver tower, dish engine, solar chimney, linear fresnel, thermal storage, and ISCC)

• Cost analysis and trends of current and planned projects

• Market share analysis and forecasts to 2020

• Competitive analysis and strategy profiles of leading utilities, CSP IPPs and Developers, Manufacturers and EPC providers

Dormant since the early 1990s, solar CSP technology is undergoing a renaissance in the solar-rich areas of the world. 2007 has been a pivotal year for solar CSP development as both Acciona and Abengoa have inaugurated 65 MW of parabolic trough and 11 MW of central receiver technologies, respectively.
