The plant, which will require investments of around €237 m, will start production in the second half of 2010 and produce enough power to supply the equivalent to the consumption of 30,000 homes.
The Majadas facility is based on solar trough collector technology which the company tested in its 64 MW “Nevada Solar I” plant in the US. The plant will have a solar field of 135 hectares - equivalent to 189 football pitches – and use eight hundred solar collectors, covering a total of 48 linear miles, and equipped with a total of 192,000 mirrors.
