Dude, @Sinan is right. this project is not economically beneficial. for example, Gas power plants of 1,000 MW have roughly cost of 0.5-1.5 billion $ in different countries. Coal power plants have almost the same cost. Nuclear power plants are more expensive but they have more life time, which makes them economically comparable with Gas power plant. But, this Solar power plant is almost 5 times more expensive than what it should be, and that's why they are not economically reasonable in large scales.
The other point is that, countries like Turkey, have their own pick electricity usage around the sunset(1-2 hours before it up to 3-4 hours after it), while this solar plants have the less or zero power generation at this hours. So, as a summary, these solar plants are not economical yet.
Dude maybe you are right, i don't know but i'm sure experts of this subject worked & working on it... Let's see what will happen...
