Model CSP - Concentrating Solar Power Technology
From Solar Electricity
Solar-thermal technology allows electricity to be generated in a manageable way while also offering huge possibilities for cost reductions in the near future.
Engineering and Construction
We design and construct electricity generation plants that use concentrating solar power (CSP) technology, with three formats: tower, parabolic-trough and solar-combined cycle hybrid, with an accumulated experience of more than 651 MW.
We were the first to launch a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant using tower technology on a commercial scale (PS10) and we were the first to construct an integrated solar combined cycle plant (ISCC), which is located in Morocco.
At the end of 2010 we began construction on the largest solar-thermal plant in the world, in Arizona, United States, with a gross capacity of 280 MW.
Concession Type Infrastructures
Our solar plants operate under a pricing system that is regulated and guaranteed by the governments of each country, (feed-in tariff) or through bilateral power purchase agreements (PPA) with electricity companies. In both cases we assume no demand risk as we can transfer and sell all of the electricity produced to the network.
We have 181 MW of power in operation in Spain with five plants, and a series of assets under construction in Spain, the United States and other countries, which will give us approximately 1,500 MW in operation by 2014. We also have an extensive portfolio of projects under development, distributed around the world in countries where there is sufficient solar energy and the regulatory framework for this new technology is in its early stages. These figures underline our position as international leaders in the production of electricity using concentrating solar power (CSP) technology.
