receiver technology is entering the commercialisation phase with two<br />
projects under construction in southern Spain (Solar Tres and PS10). Other<br />
projects already under development may bring the central receiver installed<br />
capacity to 135 MW by 2005. Central receivers then might experience a<br />
slightly higher growth rate than parabolic trough systems, due to the<br />
additional dispatchability from storage. This means that under favourable<br />
conditions with a growth rate of about 25% from 2005 to 2020, the central<br />
receiver installed capacity would be about 4 GW by 2020.<br />

The present parabolic dish installed capacity is on the order of 1 MW;<br />
although, many projects are planned, which may result in installed capacity<br />
of as much as 40 MW by 2005. A SunLab study forecast that parabolic dishes<br />
could experience the most rapid expansion among the different CSP<br />
