Over 650 Concentrated Solar Power industry leaders are set to meet in San Francisco this June 24-25 for the 4th Annual Concentrated Solar Power Summit. The largest industry event of it’s kind in North America.

Most recent CSP Today findings have shown that over the next 3 years North America will prove to be a booming market for Concentrated Solar Thermal Power – set to be worth in excess of US$200bn.

Responding to this market potential North America has initiated brand new regulatory, legislative, permitting and financial support developed specifically to foster the development of this industry in the region.

Initiatives such as the Bureau of Land Managements Fast Track Scheme, which could see over 12 CSP projects approved for development by the end of December 2010. Meaning that North America could see 1000’s of Megawatts worth of projects move through the permitting, certification pipeline and into the ground.

Responding to this critical stage in the development of the CSP industry in North America, CSP Today, have announced the dates of their 4th Annual Concentrated Solar Power Summit, the industry's most highly regarded meeting place for learning, networking and setting up deals.
