1.3. Success stories: CSP Technology Infrastructures Since 1987 the research centers CIEMAT (Spain) and DLR (Germany) are implementing a very successful collaboration agreement to foster the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology development through using the facilities of the Solar Platform of Almeria). The “Plataforma Solar de Almería” is a test centre for high-temperature concentrating solar technology. Since the very beginning, DLR has played a major role in its planning and construction, and has been making use of the facility with on-site scientific staff to conduct its solar technology testing and development work in close collaboration with its Spanish partner, CIEMAT, which owns and operates the facility.
