Andasol 1, Andasol 2 and Andasol 3 Projects

Andasol 1 Project implementation: June 2006 - June 2008
Andasol 2 Project implementation: March 2007 -
March 2009
Andasol 3 Project implementation: Start of construction planed for 1 Quarter 2008

Contribute with the production of 157.4 million kWh per year of pure solar energy to fulfill the commitments Spain has assumed in Kyoto to the reduction of emissions

Provide this solar electricity without fluctuation or interruption, thanks to the 7 hour storage, maintaining the stability of the electric grid

Avoid the emission of 152 million kilos of CO2 per year to protect the climate and the environment

Create about 50 permanent jobs for operation and maintenance of the AndaSol-1 project, employing up to a maximum of 500 workers during the construction period of approximately two years

Make maximum use of the local resources of labor and construction material supply in an economically depressed region

Develop the basis for experience and infrastructure of a promising resource of renewable energy, thus leading to additional opportunities of employment and fabrication.
