Abstract(s)

ABSTRACT: This document summarises a short exploratory assessment from LNEG on the potential for job creation due deployment of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants in Portugal. Currently in Portugal it is only installed a 3.6 MWth demonstration plant at the EMSP - Évora Molten Salt Platform1, deployed in 2018. In the existing prospective studies for the Portuguese energy system, PNEC 2030 - National Energy and Climate Plan 20302 and RNC2050 – Portuguese Carbon Neutrality Roadmap 2050, only the first refers to a planned deployment of 100 MWe and 300 MWe of CSP in Portugal by 2025 and 2030. Since the Portuguese renewable energy sources (RES) arena is very dynamic more CSP could be deployed in the coming years. Therefore, currently there is no available statistical data on historic job creation for CSP technologies in Portugal and for this exploratory assessment a review of available scientific literature and market data was made.
