Gemasolar
reached
the
solar-energy
milestone
less
than
two
months
after
it
was
commissioned
in
Andalusia
by
Torresol
–
a
joint
venture
between
Masdar
and
Spanish
construction
giant
Sener.
After
commissioning
in
May,
the
plant
was
finally
ready
to
operate
at
full-blast
in
late
June
and
benefited
from
a
particularly
sunny
stretch
of
weather,
according
to
Diego
Ramirez,
director
of
production
at
Torresol.
“The
high
performance
of
the
installations
coincided
with
several
days
of
excellent
solar
radiation,
which
made
it
possible
for
the
hot-salt
storage
tank
to
reach
full
capacity,"
Ramirez
explains.
