A major factor contributing to these cost reductions is the decrease in installation costs for CSP systems. Concentrated solar power (CSP) deployment remains disappointing, with less than 0. For the period 2010 to 2022, the global weighted‑average cost of newly commissioned CSP projects fell from USD 0. The DEWA project in Dubai, under construction in 2019, held the world record for lowest CSP price in 2017 at US$73 per MWh [21] for its 700 MW combined trough and tower project: 600 MW of trough, 100 MW of tower with 15 hours of thermal energy storage daily. 118/kWh, but CSP with thermal storage provides crucial grid stability services and 6-15 hours of dispatchable power that becomes increasingly valuable as renewable penetration grows. costs for CSP declined by 50% over the past decade, falling to the current ranges of $30 0-11000 per kW.
