The 20 MW solar power plant will produce enough energy to supply 10,000 homes and will avoid the emission of approximately 12,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere that a conventional power plant would have produced.

PS20 consists of a solar field made up of 1,255 mirrored heliostats designed by Abengoa Solar. Each heliostat, with a surface area of 1,291 sq feet, reflects the solar radiation it receives onto the receiver, located on the top of a 531 feet-high tower, producing steam which is converted into electricity generation by a turbine.
