Acciona Dedicates Nevada Solar Facility
Posted on: Monday, 25 February 2008, 09:01 CST
Spanish renewable energy firm Acciona has dedicated the Nevada Solar One facility, a 64MW concentrating solar power plant based in Boulder City, Nevada.
Nevada Solar One uses Acciona's concentrating solar power technology and reportedly bolsters Nevada's position as the largest per capita producer of solar power in the US.
Spread over 400 desert acres, the Nevada Solar One plant uses a parabolic trough design that employs 182,000 curved mirrors, which track and concentrate the sun's rays in a process that creates clean energy for more than 14,000 homes in Nevada.
Acciona said that the parabolic trough technology used in its Nevada Solar One plant has the potential to compete directly with conventional fossil fuel-powered technologies.
Alberto de Miguel, Acciona Energy's executive director of corporate development and strategy, said: "We see a tremendous opportunity here in the US. This country has the natural resources, the technical expertise and the entrepreneurial drive to lead the clean technology revolution."
