January 19, 2012- Workers construct one of a dozen thermos like molten salt tanks at Abengoa's Solana Plant. Thermal storage will provide up to 6 hours of dispatchable energy to be used after sunset of if cloudy. The molten salt will generate electricity with conventional steam turbines. Solana is a 280 megawatt utility scale solar power plant (CSP) under construction in Gila Bend, Az, USA. When finished it will generate 280 MW 's providing over 70,000 Arizona homes with clean, sustainable power. (Photo by Dennis Schroeder/NREL)
