How much does solar energy cost in Saudi Arabia?

Researchers have found that the current levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for concentrated solar power (CPS) plant in Saudi Arabia could be as low as $0.137/kWh. However, combining the tech with PV would significantly enhance the cost competitiveness of CSP. The Cerro Dominador PV-CSP project in Chile Image: Ministerio de Bienes Nacionales/Flickr

Can a CSP-PV hybrid solar power plant work in Saudi Arabia?

The researchers explained their findings in “ Integrated CSP-PV hybrid solar power plant for two cities in Saudi Arabia,” which was recently published in Case Studies in Thermal Engineering. They presented the results of three different simulations conducted via the NREL System Advisor Model (SAM) model and covered three types of projects.

Does a PV plant reduce LCOE in Riyadh & Tabuk?

“The hybrid concept with a PV plant added to the CSP original baseload plant, the results show a reduction in LCOE of 18% for Riyadh and 7% for Tabuk keeping the plant capacity factor at a high 79%.
