Abengoa Solar specializes in Solar Energy and Energy Storage Solutions.
Location: : Gila Bend, Phoenix (Arizona).
Type of proyect : 280 MWe Trough Plant with storage.
This project is the result of the contract which Abengoa Solar has signed with Arizona Public Service (APS), the largest electric company in Arizona, to build and operate what will be the largest solar power plant in the world.
For the Solar Business Unit, this contract represents the construction of the first concentrating solar power plant for producing electric power in the United States.
The plant will be installed about 100 kilometers southwest of Phoenix, near Gila Bend. Solana, with 280 MWe of power output capacity, is based on parabolic trough technology and thermal storage using molten salts. When operation starts up, the plant will have the capacity to supply power to 70,000 homes and will eliminate around 400,000 tons of CO2.

We have forgotten that JOBS are the foundation to paying mortgages and buying goods.
Hundreds of Thousands of our troops have served in Iraq while Congress and the Senate fail often to promote industries which can provide Veterans jobs when they return home.
You want Jobs and a strong Economy? Then eliminate Tax Credits for Big Oil and increase Tax Credits for Renewable Energy.
We have the Best Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Hydro, Biomass and Biofuel Resources in the World. Global Companies want to invest in developing and profiting from our Renewable Energy resources much like We invested in Middle East Oil.
We can create 2 Million Clean Energy jobs in just 2 years with a $100 Billion investment. Imagine how many $700 Billion would create (14 Million New Jobs?):
We can create 2 Million Clean Energy jobs in just 2 years with a $100 Billion investment. Imagine how many $700 Billion would create (14 Million New Jobs?):
Change the focus to Job Creation and Invest $100 Billion annually in Renewable Energy Investment Tax Credits. That alone can generate $700~800 Billion of new Investment into our Economy Annually, along with Millions of Jobs. In the long run it also frees us from sending Hundreds of Billions to the Middle East for Oil.
