Prof. Wagner: "In the next 10 years, solar thermal power stations are probably going to break through the 10 cents per kilowatt hour mark"
In Morocco, a group of companies led by Saudi Arabian ACWA Power International is going to build a power plant that will provide electricity for less than 15 euro cents per kilowatt hour. This amounts to much less than providers in Spain are currently paid for electricity generated at their solar power plants. Ulrich Wagner, Member of the DLR Executive Board responsible for Energy and Transport, explains why solar power plants are now able to produce less expensive electricity and why he anticipates further price reductions.
