Abstract
In the Mojave desert, nine thermodynamic solar power stations (parabolic cylindrical system) of 354 MW capacity are feeding electricity to the Southwestern California grid. The reasons of this success are examined: high solar radiation level, coincidence with peak needs, a high efficiency system, and financial incentives for the first built power stations. Developments of this Luz concept should result in 1994 in the form of power stations of greater size, burning gas to generate half of the electricity produced and using solar energy for the other half. Potentials of this concept is examined for France
