Concentrating Solar Power | SEIA
Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. The thermal energy concentrated in a CSP plant can be stored and used to produce electricity when it is needed, day or night. Today, roughly 1,815 megawatts (MW ac) of CSP plants are in ...

One of the benefits of CST is that the captured heat can be stored cost-effectively for long periods with little loss of energy. This means that CST can be used to generate electricity or provide heat when the sun isn't shining. Globally, most CST plants used for electricity production incorporate 3-15 hours of thermal energy storage.
