Giving you the tools to develop a winning CSP strategy for the long term
Whether you already have CSP experience in the US or Spain or establishing a CSP business in South Africa, the only thing that matters is acquiring knowledge specific to the geography and dynamics of the South African market. And you will get just that! The only issues that have made it to agenda are the topics that bring you closer to securing an IPP agreement and building a successful & productive CSP business in South Africa. including
- To what extent will CSP’s dispatchability meet South Africa’s energy demand?
- What are the industrial application opportunities for CSP in the mining and chemical industry?
- What are the country specific challenges in getting a CSP project from conception to commissioning?
- At what stage will it make sense to establish a domestic CSP supplier base in South Africa & how wills this be achieved?
