Andasol 1 cost around €300 million (US$380 million) to build. [12] Thermal energy storage costs roughly US$50 per kWh of capacity (150 lbs of salt per kWh at a storage temperature of 400 °C), according to Greg Glatzmaier of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), totaling about 13% of Andasol's initial cost. [12]
Completed: Andasol 1 (2008), Andasol 2 (2009), Andasol 3 (2011). Each equipped with a 7.5 hour thermal energy storage. [38] [39] Extresol Solar Power Station Spain: Torre de Miguel Sesmero: 150 2010: Parabolic trough 7.5
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory projects that the levelized cost of wind power will decline about 25% from 2012 to 2030. [16] In fiscal year 2020, congressional appropriations for the Department of Energy contained $464.3 million for NREL. This total included the following amounts for its renewable energy technology programs: [17]

As of 2023, the total was 8.1 GW, with the inclusion of three new CSP projects in construction in China [9] and in Dubai in the UAE. [9] The U.S.-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which maintains a global database of CSP plants, counts 6.6 GW of operational capacity and another 1.5 GW under construction. [10]
The Andasol plant uses tanks of molten salt to store solar energy so that it can continue generating electricity even after sunset. [1] Grids with high penetration of renewable energy sources generally need more flexible generation rather than baseload generation [2]
Dicklyon: I hope you're well. QQ. should this be Andasol Solar Power Station as it is now, or should be it Andasol solar power station? Cheers — Amakuru 15:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC) It appears to be widely lowercase in books, and even in web and news hits. Dicklyon 03:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
The system stores 1.2 kWh of energy and 275W/500W power output. [91] Storing wind or solar energy using thermal energy storage though less flexible, is considerably cheaper than batteries. A simple 52-gallon electric water heater can store roughly 12 kWh of energy for supplementing hot water or space heating. [92]
