Andasol consists of three projects: Andasol-1 [2] (completed 2008), Andasol-2 [5] (completed 2009) and Andasol-3 [6] (completed 2011). Each project generates approximately 165 GW-h each per year (a total of 495 GW-h for all three combined), [4] with a gross electricity output of 50 MW e and 49.9 MW e net. [7]
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: Torre de Miguel Sesmero: 150 2010: Parabolic trough 7.5

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory projects that the levelized cost of wind power will decline about 25% from 2012 to 2030. [16] In fiscal year 2020, congressional appropriations for the Department of Energy contained $464.3 million for NREL. This total included the following amounts for its renewable energy technology programs: [17]
As of 2023, the total was 8.1 GW, with the inclusion of three new CSP projects in construction in China [9] and in Dubai in the UAE. [9] The U.S.-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which maintains a global database of CSP plants, counts 6.6 GW of operational capacity and another 1.5 GW under construction. [10]
The Andasol plant uses tanks of molten salt to store solar energy so that it can continue generating electricity even after sunset. [1] Grids with high penetration of renewable energy sources generally need more flexible generation rather than baseload generation [2]
Suggest to rename this article to 'Andasol solar power stations', to cover al Andasol stations. Lkruijsw ( talk ) 22:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC) [ reply ] Wouldn't it be best to have a separate article for each one, so we could easily refer to them individually in articles such as List of solar thermal power stations ?
For example, when the sun is more than about 60° above the horizon (<30°) the solar intensity is about 1000 W/m 2 (from equation I.1 as shown in the above table), whereas when the sun is only 15° above the horizon (=75°) the solar intensity is still about 600 W/m 2 or 60% of its maximum level; and at only 5° above the horizon still 27% of ...
