20MW Solar Tower in Spain
Our readers are aware through our previous articles on solar towers, they are an innovative renewable energy that uses giant mirrors to concentrate sunlight into a central to produce steam that drives a turbine, and it has an incredible potential to produce clean energy.
The new 20MW plant of power, called PS20, will open in the desert on the outskirts of Seville in January, and the developers plans to expand it to a capacity of 300MW; a report in The Guardian explains:
Spanish companies are moving toward the CPS (solar concentrators, for its initials in English). More than 50 projects throughout Spain have already been approved for construction by the government, by 2015, the country is expected to generate more than 2GW from solar thermal concentration (TSA, for its initials in Spanish) which exceeded current expectations. The companies are also exporting their technology to countries such as Morocco, Algeria and the US.
“TSA is just the beginning of a big boom” says Jose Luis Garcia, from Greenpeace Spain. “Spain is in an excellent position to develop and implement the technology of solar energy.
