The Concentrated Solar Power Summit in San Francisco (28-29 Jan) is set to exceed all expectations with more than 250 people already confirmed to attend.

“There has been record interest in this event” said Belén Gallego, the director of CSP Today, the organiser of the conference. “The Concentrated Solar Power industry is booming and the industry needs to discuss many issues of development and commercialisation. This is just the beginning, we need to be prepared and in-sync.”

The chairman of the summit, [Dr.][AL1] Arnold Leitner, President and CEO of SkyFuel added “I am very honored to be presiding over the CSP Summit. As the Chairman of the Solar Electric Division of the American Solar Energy Society I am delighted see CSP stand in the zenith of attention of U.S. renewable power. CSP has long been overlooked. But now its future shines as bright as the Sun. As CEO of SkyFuel, the summit will be a great opportunity to share our view of the market and compare notes with others.”

With speakers such as SkyFuel, Ausra, Sopogy ,BrightSource Energy, SENER, Worley Parsons, Solel, and Schott the event will discuss the biggest challenges in the CSP industry, from cost reduction, technology, regulatory framework, heat storage, utilities, financial risk management and efficient construction.
