In this paper, solar thermal resources for concentrating solar power (CSP) electricity generation are evaluated as means of achieving electricity availability in the country in the short, medium and long term programmes.
While the share of solar power generation was 4.2 % of the total electricity generation in 2021, it increased to 4.7 % in 2022, representing a 9.2 % increase. The share of solar power generation in total electricity generation is experiencing growth due to continuous investments in the solar power industry.
The cost of electricity generation from solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies has notably decreased, rendering them competitive with fossil-fuel-based technologies and onshore wind power .
