The 17-megawatt (MW) Gemasolar project is being built near Seville by Torresol Energy, a joint venture owned 60% by Spanish engineering firm Sener and 40% by Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewables development vehicle.
Gemasolar, which started construction in November 2008, will be the world's first commercial-scale CSP plant to utilise a molten salt heat-storage system. The project will incorporate a central tower and 2,600 heliostats, or sun-tracking mirrors.
