While solar thermal power plants aren't expanding as rapidly as I hoped, innovation in the CSP(V) sector is continuing to occur. RNE has a report on Australian company Raygen which is looking to build a CSPV plant in China - Australia’s RayGen fast-tracks 10MW CSVP power plant in China.

Australian solar technology developer RayGen Resources says it will accelerate the time line for its first major commercial-scale project for its concentrated solar PV technology (CSPV), and intends to have a 10MW system built in China within two years.
The Melbourne-based RayGen, which has a small pilot facility in Victoria, says the deal with China Intense Solar will see a 200kW pilot plant completed by March, 2015, followed by a 1 MW demonstration soon after.

Will this be yet another solar tech transfer from Oz to OS that will later be shipped back to Oz?
This article, below the one touting "super intelligence" tells me in which country the development of the later is being deliberately stunted.
China has been signalling for some time that it will eventually turn away from coal, yet Australian policy has seemingly ignored these signals.
Even as China acts, Abbott still shits out the rhetoric that Australia wont act on climate (and I guess energy) policy until China and others do.

Oh well...
