About Acciona's Nevada Solar One:Concentrating Solar Power delivers a win-win solution for all involved: the environment, communities, utilities, and consumers. Its use promotes economic growth, ecological balance and social progress.Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Technology:Innovation continues to reduce the cost of concentrating solar power. The parabolic trough technology used in Acciona's Nevada Solar One plant represents a major renewable energy success story of the past two decades and has the potential to compete directly with conventional fossil fuel powered technologies.Acciona's 400-acre, 64 MW Nevada Solar One plant utilizes proprietary tracking technology to track the sun's location and concentrate its rays during peak demand hours. The plant employs 760 parabolic concentrators with more than 182,000 mirrors that concentrate the sun's rays onto more than 18,240 receiver tubes located on their focal line. Fluid that heats up to 735°F flows through these tubes and is...
