The power plant will use Abengoa’s trough technology, which will also enable part of the thermal energy to be stored in molten salt thermal tanks, providing additional dispatchable electricity that is expected to avoid 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions per annum.

Construction is expected to start in 2014.
