NREL study shows CSP with energy storage can help utilities

NREL study shows CSP with energy storage can help utilities
Renewable Energy Magazine (press release)
The NREL report found that, compared to solar PV, CSP having a six-hour storage capacity can lower peak net loads even when the sun isn't shining, thereby adding at least $35.80 per megawatt hour to the capacity and operational value of the utility.http://www.renewableenergymagazine.com/article/nrel-study-shows-csp-with-energy-storage-20121221
