Areva Selected to Build Both World’s Largest Solar Thermal/Gas Hybrid Power Project

At Intersolar North America, AREVA Solar highlighted the recent announcements of two major international concentrated solar power (CSP) projects that will use their solar steam generators. AREVA Solar designs, manufactures and installs solar steam generators for the global power generation and industrial steam needs of its customers.

On June 18, the Australian Government selected the “Solar Dawn” 250-megawatt solar-thermal/gas hybrid power plant as the preferred solar thermal power project in Round 1 of the Australian Government’s Solar Flagships Program. The project is proposed by a consortium, including AREVA Solar, CS Energy and Wind Prospect CWP. The Australian and Queensland Governments have announced their commitment to contribute AU$464 million and AU$75 million, respectively, to the project.
