Ausra, a CA solar thermal power plant company, wants to add solar thermal to the mix at plants now fully-fired by coal. By supplementing these plants with solar, Ausra expects its solar thermal system to reduce the amount of coal needed in some plants by 30-50%. It may not be a perfect solution, but this bridge to the future strategy may allow solar companies to grow and coal fired plants to begin to meet their mandated renewable energy quotas.
