Reply to comment by Sable-Keech in which is more efficient, using the sun to boil water and generate electricity from team or using solar panals? by Phat_Potatoes
I would imagine CSP plants to be operating as ORC Organic rankine cycle) plants as they can achieve evaporation in lower temperatures and dont need water in their circulation.
CSP plants also have added benefit that can be used in some sort of heat storage solutions which would enable production in cloudy/ night times. I remember reading that the material heated in focal towers is some salt that actually melts there.

It seems they want to use steam for some reason.
