Protermosolar is the association that represents the Spanish sector of the Concentrated Solar Power industry, in which Spain is the international leader both in terms of installed power and the participation of its companies in international projects. The Spanish Association for the Promotion of the Thermosolar Industry (Protermosolar) has approved at its general meeting the …
Each MW of solar thermal power can replace each MW of gas and achieve a total transition of the electricity sector, which would imply the substitution of current natural gas plants, as can be seen from the study carried out by Protermosolar in collaboration with the Comillas Pontifical University, which analyzes the technical and economic …
Concentrated Solar Power is a multipurpose technology: it can generate electricity (day and night), it can produce heat for industrial processes (for drying and dehydration, sterilization, pasteurization, washing) and it can store energy (in thermal salt tanks that store the sun’s heat during the day and release it at night to generate energy). We spoke …
On Friday, 21 April 2023, PROTERMOSOLAR, a Spanish Association for CSP Industry and ESTELA Member, joined Solar Impulse Foundation and three other renewable associations (EuroACE, Energy Efficiency Capital Advisors and Vertex Bioenergy) to discuss the upcoming National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) update. With more than 50 concentrated solar power plants in Spain, the country …
The European Commission has published a Consultation on the Electricity Market Design. The Commission is particularly concerned about high electricity prices and has the objective to ensure consumers – both households and companies– can access affordable and secure energy from sustainable and renewable sources both now and in the long term. ESTELA, DCSP and Protermosolar …
«In Spain, there are more than 20 operational process heat concentrated solar power projects, which will double by 2023, thanks to the paybacks that we currently have for 2-3 years.» David Trebolle, general secretary of Protermosolar, the Spanish Association for the Promotion of the Thermosolar Industry, says so in an article that we have published …
The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge plans to launch a third renewable auction before the end of the year. According to the Secretary of State for Energy, Sara Aagesen, this third renewable auction will go to solar thermal, biomass and other technologies. In this way, the spanish government would comply with the …
Spanish solar thermal companies are present in more than three-quarters of the world’s projects, becoming a successful case of technology export in the category. In addition to new plants awarded by auctions to comply with the PNIEC (National Plan for Energy and Climate), there are possibilities to expand existing plants to have more night-time renewable …
Concentrated Solar Power technology plans to add up to 5 gigawatts (GW) in the next decade through the capacity auctions of the Government of Spain, which would add to the 2.3 GW already existing. Its thermal storage can offer high value services to the system in addition to the shift of generation to night hours. …
