1 Global CSP data are based on commercial facilities only;
demonstration or pilot facilities are excluded. Data are compiled
from the following sources: CSP Today, “Projects Tracker,” http://
social.csptoday.com/tracker/projects, viewed on numerous dates
leading up to 23 March 2015; US National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL), “Concentrating solar power projects by
project name,” http://www.nrel.gov/csp/solarpaces/by_project.

IRENA_RE_Capacity_Statistics_2016.pdf. Differences between
IRENA and REN21 data are due primarily to inclusion of pilot
and demonstration facilities in the IRENA report. In some
cases, information from the above sources was verified against
additional country-specific sources, as cited in the rest of the
endnotes for this section. Figure 18 based on idem.
