After postponing Phase Two bidding for CSP projects in December to focus on Phase One, India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has now extended the completion deadline for the delayed NSM projects under Phase One. What led to this decision and how will it impact future projects?

By Heba Hashem

Relief from millions in fines

A lenient move made by India’s MNRE to stretch the completion deadline for seven delayed CSP projects under the National Solar Mission (NSM) Phase One and waive millions of dollars in penalties has been well-received by stakeholders and solar communities all over the world.

The new deadline for these projects – 470 MW in total – has now been pushed from May 10, 2013 to March 10, 2014, allowing developers 10 additional months.

California believes its land mitigation measures represent best environmental best practice for CSP. Not all environmentalists are convinced, however.

By Jason Deign

It is a safe bet nobody has ever shelled out so much on a tortoise.

Last month Solar Partners, owners of the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System (ISEGS), paid USD$6.2 million for land purchased to mitigate the impact of the ISEGS solar project, which covers nearly 7,000 acres of desert tortoise habitat and 175 acres of state waters.

Researchers have created the first fully integrated artificial photosynthesis nanosystem. While “artificial leaf” is the popular term for such a system, the key to this success was an “artificial forest.”

Using a powerful combination of microanalytic techniques that simultaneously image photoelectric current and chemical reaction rates across a surface on a micrometer scale, researchers have shed new light on what may become a cost-effective way to generate hydrogen gas directly from water and sunlight.
