Within WP1 the project continuously monitored basic conditions of the CSP/STE in comparison to the conditions existing when both the project and the IP were conceived. Specifically, consortium has analysed results of the 12 CSP R&I projects resulting from the IP of the SET-Plan and reported on countries relevant for the IP, current framework conditions, options for financing instruments and schemes and finally, on yearly bases all through the project, changes in framework and market conditions.
Within WP2 the project has assessed the conditions for replicating in European countries the commercial cost levels achieved by the industry on world markets. Throughout the WP2 the consortium performed a stakeholder mapping, drafted seven country reports from industry perspective, seven integrated country reports, compiling drafted country reports from both industry and R&I perspective and, finally, merged all integrated country reports into one final report, which, following the reviews of EC, will be available at project’s webpage.
Within WP3 the project produced a survey about stakeholders’ interests and capabilities to the R&I activities of the SET-Plan, recommendations for Call for Proposals, indicators and methodology for monitoring the success of the CSP IP, context for an European Joint Programme for CST and funding schemes and a webinar with focus on options to increase CST funding and the EU-SOLARIS ERIC and the results of the final survey about funding sources for CST.
Within WP4 the consortium has established channels, platforms and tools for dissemination and communication with stakeholders, decision makers in SET-Plan countries and wider audience, organised events, conferences and site visits. Throughout the project duration the consortium has:
