• STE Technologies - 1

• Parabolic Trough Plants
• Size ? 50 to 300 MW
• Proven technology
• Commercial operation since 1984
• Preferred technology for new plants in the
  USA, Spain, and North Africa

10

• STE Technologies - 1

• Central Receiver Plants
• Size ? 10 to 50 MW
• Demo plants built in the 80s
• Two commercial plants in
• operation in Spain
• (10 and 20 MW) and another
• one under construction (17 MW 15h
  storage)
• Larger projects announced in the USA

• STE Technologies - 1

• Dish Stirling Systems
• Size ? 10 to 25 kW (modular)
• Several small-scale
• installations in operation
• Utility-scale installations
• slated for construction in 2010
• Applications appropriate for both
  stand-alone and utility-scale projects

• STE Technologies - 1

• Linear Fresnel Systems
• Current demonstration projects up to 6 MW
• Larger plants under development (up
  to 150 MW)

Cut down CSP Costs byGeneration in MENA

• CSP Imports from MENA will significantly reduce
  costs due to better resource and economies of
  scale
• Establish and monitor Targets for CSP electricity
  import to the entire EU from the MENA Region
• Account the CO2 Emission reductions of the
  imported CSP electricity in the European emission
  scheme

14
Remove Technical Barriersto Increase
Competitiveness

• Remove Capacity Limits
• Remove Annual Operating Hour Limits
• Allow for full flexibility in Hybridization with
  other Renewables and Conven-tional Power Systems
  to maximize Efficiency and Dispatchability
• Expand the European Grid to harvest renewable
  power at its resource and distribute it to where
  it is needed

15
Open Transnational Renewable Energy Markets
across Mediterranean, MENA and EU

• Let renewable electricity cross Intra-European
  borders (Schengen for Green Electrons)
• Let renewable electricity cross the Mediterranean
  from MENA to the European Union
• Establish bankable transnational renewable
  transfer tariffs for such interchange

16
Shake Handsbetween MENA and EU

• Tap Africas unlimited solar resource
• Share the technology, know how and employment
• Buildup an industrial and human resource base for
  the implementation of CSP
• Develop economic relationships and create an
  investment framework by supporting electricity
  market liberalization in MENA
• Such CSP employment opportunities will offer
  alternatives to emigration

17
Ensure Stable and Bankable Financing Instruments

• Longterm and stable Feed-In-Tariffs have proven
  as the most efficient instrument for sustainable
  renewable market penetration
• Ensure that the Kyoto instruments such as CDM and
  JI are applicable to CSP and mechanisms are
  bankable and sufficient.
• Establish loan guarantee programs via existing
  windows at multilateral banks, existing national
  lending programs and global environmental
  programs such as GEF, UNEP, and UNDP for CSP for
  North Africas developing economies

18
Grant the Future for the Next CSP Generation

• Next generation technologies will significantly
  drive down costs
• Pre-commercial demonstration plants allow next
  generation technologies to enter the market
• Demonstration plants need loan guarantees from
  the EU and multilateral sponsors to cover the
  technology innovation risk

• Manufacturing Jobs in North
• Africa 40,000 man/year

• Construction Jobs
• 120,000 man/year
• Operation Maintenance Jobs
• 35,280 man/year
• Total 235,280 man/year

MSP-STE Phases Where Export to Europe Is Required
As far as the financing scheme may require the
export of R.E. electricity from NA to Europe the
following phases could to be distinguished
Phase 1 2009 2012 Enough capacity of the
existing Morocco Spain electrical
interconnection Phase 2 2013 2016 Additional
grid interconnections between NA and Europe (
reinforcement of the existing one) allowing the
export of a large share of the electricity
produced by the new R.E. plants Phase 3 2017
2020 Real European electricity market with a
supergrid of much higher interconnection capacity
inside Europe Phase 4 2021 onwards accelerated
CSP deployment will not require additional public
support
