Grupo Ibereolica agreed with Inveravante to construct and operate two CSP(Concentrated Solar Power) solar thermal power plants in Seville and Badajoz, Spain. Constructing the plants will begin immediately. The two facilities employ parabolic trough technology and will each have an installed capacity of 50 megawatts each.
The plants will cost around €600 million. Salt storage and biomass hybridisation technology could be incorporated to increase production during the night. During the construction phase of the project an estimated 1,000 jobs will be created. When construction is finished 50 jobs will be needed to maintain the plants.
