On 7 March, Senior Analyst Michael Taylor of IRENA participated in two panels at the World Bank workshop, Middle East & North Africa Concentrated Solar Power Knowledge & Innovation Program (MENA CSP KIP), a new programme designed to support officials exploring the potential of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) as a sustainable source for the region’s rising demand for energy. In Ouarzazate, Morocco, Mr Taylor presented IRENA’s analysis of the cost reduction potential of CSP to 2025. Click here to view the presentations.

The Power to Change: Solar and Wind Cost Reduction Potential to 2025
Increasing economies of scale, more competitive supply chains and further technological improvements will continue reducing the costs of solar and wind power. The same factors will also boost the availability of these key renewable power sources at night and in varying weather conditions.- June 2016
