Concentrated solar power is the use of mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight on a small area, storing thermal energy for driving steam turbines to generate electricity.

Tower plants can cost between $6,300 to $10,500 when energy storage is between 6 and 15 hours. Plants can achieve rates of 0.035 dollars per kilowatt hour.

CSP collects thermal energy to generate electrical energy via turbines and mechanical energy.

# data[].attributes.body
CSP has lower energy density than other forms of renewable and clean energy as well as higher insulation and development costs. It is also location dependent and is less efficient in regards to energy produced per square foot.

CSP is clean (does not produce any atmospheric pollutants or waste byproducts), nondepletable, lower investment costs, and can store thermal energy for use  later.
