Concentrated Solar Power in Spain

Europe's first CSP plant (concentrated solar power) has opened in Spain. It's part of a set of Spanish solar power facilities that will generate 300MW of power by 2013, enough to cover the current consumption of 180 000 homes. The entire project will cost £815 million. So, two Wembley stadiums for 180 000 homes. Or, if you prefer 1/90th of the cost of the renewal of the Trident nuclear deterrent for clean power for 180 000 homes.

Solar power is developing sphere, but I believe it'll have great future and after some years more and more solar power plants will be built and generate a lot of energy for big quatnity of people.
