Andasol 1 cost around €300 million (US$380 million) to build. [12] Thermal energy storage costs roughly US$50 per kWh of capacity (150 lbs of salt per kWh at a storage temperature of 400 °C), according to Greg Glatzmaier of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), totaling about 13% of Andasol's initial cost.

Andasol solar power station Spain: Guadix: 150 2008: Parabolic trough 7.5: Completed: Andasol 1 (2008), Andasol 2 (2009), Andasol 3 (2011). Each equipped with a 7.5 hour thermal energy storage. [38] [39] Extresol Solar Power Station Spain
The Andasol 1 power plant went online in November 2008, and has a thermal storage system which absorbs part of the heat produced in the solar field during the day. This heat is then stored in a molten salt mixture and used to generate electricity during the night, or when the sky is overcast.
The first large-scale power plant project by Solar Millennium is the Andasol complex, which consists of three immediately adjacent, essentially identical parabolic trough power plants, Andasol 1 to 3 in southern Spain. [9] In June 2006 the construction of Andasol 1 on the plateau of Guadix in Andalusia was initiated. Andasol 1 ran from October ...
The 500-megawatt (MW) SCE/SES plant would extract about 2.75% of the radiation (1 kW/m 2; see Solar power for a discussion) that falls on its 4,500 acres (18.2 km 2). [73] For the 50 MW AndaSol Power Plant [74] that is being built in Spain (total area 1.95 km 2; ¾ sq. mi.) gross conversion efficiency comes out at 2.6%.
Andasol is the first parabolic trough power plant in Europe, and Andasol 1 went online in March 2009. Because of the high altitude (1,100 m) and the semi-arid climate, the site has exceptionally high annual direct insolation of 2,200 kWh/m 2 per year.
