WHY THE SLOWDOWN?
PV
POLICY
SUPPORT
Rapid decline of PV costs makes STEG a less attractive
option for generating clean energy from large sunny areas
Partly in consequence of runaway PV build (and also the
Spanish debt crisis), government support has been removed or
switched to PV. PV wins solar tenders.
FINANCE
Initial capital expenditure is high and there have been
bankruptcies as companies struggle with liquidity
WATER
Increasing concern over availability of water resources for
cooling and washing

TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION
CURRENT COST
• Cost of components (eg mirrors, steam
turbines) is extremely high
• Each plant is designed differently, so
skilled engineers are required and
customisation difficult
REDUCING COSTS
• Reducing component costs through
optimising design to use less material, or
lower cost material, or to improve
efficiency
• Achieve economies of scale through
increasing the plant size
• Add storage, or hybridise STEG with
fossil fuel, to increase utilisation of the
turbine. This can also help STEG power
output match power demand –
something PV or wind cannot do

GAS EFFECTS ON STEG
• Gas reserves risen by 34%
between 2000-2012
• Large pipeline of LNG terminals
and exploration
• Cheaper gas means cheaper

2014 AND BEYOND
• There will be some markets where the advantages of STEG over PV are
valued – for example, weak power grids, or countries with a strong evening
electricity demand peak
• Several countries (Australia, Morocco, India) are also offering tenders for one
or two large STEG projects
• Saudi Arabian market 2.1GW in 2 rounds of bidding, by 2032 25GW
(although BNEF believes the long term target may be shifted towards PV)
• Cost reductions and technology improvements continue to be made by
companies like BrightSource and Abengoa, which are building plants and
gaining the experience to make the technology better
