Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants supply renewable, dispatchable power and can therefore be an important element of the evolving energy system.
Support will be given to novel solutions that use concentrating solar thermal energy to generate power. In terms of power dispatchability, the novel solutions will have to ensure a performance at least equivalent to current commercial installations. Solutions that cogenerate power and heat are also in the scope. Moreover, solutions that support the concentrating solar thermal technology with photovoltaic technology are also in the scope.
Projects should assess the sustainability of the proposed solutions in environmental and socio-economic terms. Applicants are encouraged to consider a ‘circularity by design’ approach.

EU contribution per project: €3,00 million
If projects use satellite-based earth observation, positioning, navigation and/or related timing data and services, beneficiaries must make use ofνCopernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS (other data and services may additionally be used).
