recommended that DOE "should limit or halt its R&D on power-tower and power-trough technologies because further refinements to these concepts will not further their deployment." Subsequent DOE funding requests for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology development have been sharply reduced (FY02, FY03) or zero (FY04). In 2002, DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE/EERE) conducted a Strategic Program Review that, among other things, identified a need for further technical analysis of CSP R&D. In response, DOE/EERE initiated a review process whereby an independent engineering firm would conduct a detailed analysis of CSP, which would in turn be reviewed by a second independent NRC panel.
