<p>The UK fully supports EU efforts to bring about further energy interconnection,
both within the EU and linking the EU with third countries, in order to meet energy
security and low carbon objectives. Developing concentrated solar power (CSP) in North
Africa is potentially a part of these efforts among many others, although more research
and development is required to demonstrate further improvements in CSP technology.
The UK fully supports EU work in this area, such as in the Horizon 2020 Energy Programme.</p><p>Geographical
and cost factors mean that CSP development in North Africa is not currently of direct
interest to the UK.</p>
