Abstract: This
paper discusses the value generation potential for local and
international industry in different development scenarios of the
concentrating solar power (CSP) market in North Africa until 2030. It
analyzes the economic impact resulting from the participation of North
African and European companies during construction and operation of CSP
plants. The assessment is based on a self-developed solar technologies market development model (STMD)
that includes economic and technical requirements and constraints for
the creation of a local CSP market. In-depth interviews with industry
stakeholders provide specific input, validate the calculations and
complement the quantitative model results and conclusions. Long-term
potential for locally generated revenues from CSP plant construction are
modeled and lead to a share of local revenues of up to 60%. Potential
market size of solar power plants in North Africa could reach total
revenues of 120 Billion euros and thus demand for components and
services contribute to national gross domestic products significantly.
Recommendations are given for regional industry cooperation and policy
actions for the support of local and international CSP industry in North
Africa in order to improve the investment environment and growth of
renewable energies in the region.
Highlights
►New
economic model to evaluate value generation of CSP take-off in North
Africa.
►CSP components are assessed regarding their potentials to be produced locally.
►Potential for locally generated revenues of CSP plants: 60% of total value.
►Socio-economic impacts of RE projects become more relevant to investment decisions.
