Abengoa Solar has begun construction on its second concentrating solar power plant in the town of Logrosan, located in the province of Caceres, Spain. The parabolic trough technology plant will have a power output capacity of 50MW, enough to power approximately 25,000 households. The concentrating solar power (CSP) plant will also prevent the emission of 31,400 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, thereby upholding Abengoa's commitment to sustainability and to combating climate change.
Like the first plant, which is already under construction in the same location, this new power station will utilize parabolic trough technology, a solution developed by the company in recent years and proven and tested at the Solucar Platform plants in Sanlucar la Mayor, Seville.
Pedro Robles, CEO of Abengoa Solar Spain, said: "Two years ago we began the process involved in building these plants. After having made the necessary investments involved in purchasing land and the primary equipment, we can today affirm that Extremadura will enjoy two clean energy plants. Both power stations will be part of the future Extremadura Solar Platform, which will make the most of the sun, one of the region's greatest natural resources."
