Financing of Fresnel solar power station Puerto Errado 2 completed

摘要

The 30 MW solar thermal power station Puerto Errado 2 (PE2) is the first commercial Fresnel solar power station project to achieve full financing. The funds of € 67 million will be provided by a consortium of three large European banks. There have already been other Fresnel solar power stations in the USA, in Spain and in Australia, but in contrast to PE2, all of them have a capacity in the low megawatt range and can thus be classified as demonstration projects. Hans Fischer, the Chairman of the Management Board of German Novatec Solar, the company that developed the Fresnel technology used in PE2, is pleased with the situation: "The completion of financing of Puerto Errado 2 confirms that Novatec's technology is now established on the market. This represents a commercial breakthrough for Fresnel technology."
