Abengoa Solar Closes Financing for the World's Largest Solar Generation Plant

摘要

Abengoa Solar has finalized US$1.45 billion financing to build Solana, the world's largest parabolic trough concentrating solar power (CSP) plant. This plant, with a total investment of around $2 billion, will generate 250 net MW. Abengoa Solar signed a power purchase agreement with Arizona Public Service to buy the energy produced by Solana for a period of 30 years. Following the conditional commitment announced by President Obama in July 2010, the Department of Energy, through the Loan Programs Office, has issued a loan guarantee to support this project.
