The solar thermal plant will have 10,600 heliostats in a solar field that will cover more than 700 hectares. Heliostats concentrate solar radiation at a single point, the receiver, located at the top of a 820 feet high tower. Radiation coming from the sun is used to heat molten salts. The molten salts generate the steam necessary to power a 110 MW turbine, which generates clean electricity.
The plant will also feature a thermal storage system with molten salts that will permit to deliver stable energy 24 hours a day
