Deliverable 4.4 of the MUSTEC Project: Potential Obstacles to the Use of Cooperation Mechanisms for CSP in the Future

This report provides an integrated analytical framework to identify the drivers and barriers to the use of cooperation mechanisms for deployment of concentrating solar photovoltaics (CSP). The authors empirically identify those drivers and barriers to the use of those mechanisms in the future with the help of a literature review, and they rank the drivers and barriers according to the views of different types of stakeholders. Work for the report was carried out in the context of Work Package 4 (WP4), task 4.3 of the Market Uptake of Solar Thermal Electricity through Cooperation (MUSTEC) project, the goal of which is an assessment of the opportunities that renewable energy cooperation might bring to the future market uptake of CSP in Europe.
