Solar Thermoelectric


Africana Energía is a 50 MW solar thermal power plant promoted by three leading companies: Magtel, TSK y Grupo Ortiz. These companies came together in a common commitment to make this project an international technological and environmental point of reference.

 

The high degree of innovation of the installations and their operation position them as a point of reference not only in Andalusia, but also nationwide. Africana Energía uses cylindrical-parabolic technology to capture solar rays; a clean, mature technology made for a large-scale installation and a thermal storage system that enables it to provide energy even at night and with overcast skies.

Africana Energía represents an investment of 387 million euros and has a rated power of 50 MW that will generate over 180 million kilowatts an hour, equivalent to the consumption of 100,000 homes.
