EGP will rely both on innovations developed by its in-house engineers and in some cases components supplied by third parties for the 17MW parabolic-trough plant, the company tells Recharge.
EGP opened the 33MW Stillwater geothermal plant in 2009 in Fallon, western Nevada, and several years later added a 26MW PV array to the site.
The addition of CSP to the hybrid plant will make it the first in the world to incorporate geothermal, PV and solar-thermal technologies within one linked-up generation system, EGP claims.
