EL REBOSO III 50-MW Solar Thermal Power Plant
This page provides information on EL REBOSO III, a concentrating solar power (CSP) project, with data organized by background, participants, and power plant configuration. EL REBOSO III is one of the first parabolic trough power plants in Europe with molten-salt storage. Located in southern Spain, Utrera (Sevilla), this power plant will be constructed beginning May 2010 and will begin operating in 2012. A two-tank indirect thermal storage system holds 28,500 tons of molten salt. Both EL REBOSO III and EL REBOSO II will help the Spanish power grid meet peak summer demand primarily caused by the high energy consumption of air conditioning units.
