PS10 is the first of a set of
solar power
Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovolta ...
generation plants to be constructed in the same area that will total more than 300 MW by 2013. Power generation will be accomplished using a variety of technologies. The first two power plants to be brought into operation at
Sanlúcar la Mayor are the PS10, and Sevilla PV, the largest low concentration system photovoltaic plant in Europe.
300 MW:
Completed and is operating:
* PS10 (10 MW)
*
PS20
The PS20 solar power plant (PS20) solar power plant is a solar thermal energy plant in Sanlucar la Mayor near Seville in Andalusia, Spain. It was the world's most powerful solar power tower until the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California ...
(20 MW)
*
Solnova 1 (50 MW)
* Solnova 3 (50 MW)
* Solnova 4 (50 MW)
total: 180 MW.
Three more plants are planned:
* AZ20 (20 MW)
* Solnova 2 (50 MW)
* Solnova 5 (50 MW)
Total 120 MW.
PS20 and AZ20 are twin 20 MWe tower plants based on the same concept as PS10.
