Brief overview of the Project

The Alba Nova 1 Concentrated Solar Power Plant will serve the Corsican community with clean energy. It will be a 12MW solar-thermal on-grid power production plant, employing linear Fresnel technology for direct steam generation. The technology is developed by Solar Euromed SAS and offers very distinct advantages, such as the restrained use of water for cleaning the mirrors, accommodation of agricultural cultivation of selected plants beneath the solar field and elimination of the use of molten salts for storage. Specon is the appointed EPC contractor for the entire facility.
