AKO will supply and install the Electrical Heat Tracing system for Consol-Orellana CSP plant

We are honored to have been chosen by Acciona Energía and the supporting engineering firm GHESA to be part of this ambitious project.

Consol-Orellana, built in the province of Badajoz, in the municipal district of Orellana La Vieja, uses parabolic trough collector technology, and will have a power of 50MW which will represent around 175 GWh a year, capable of covering thepower supply of 30,000 households.

This won´t be the first time we work together with Acciona Energía. In fact, we have been involved in the last four CSP plants owned by this company such Majadas, Alvarado (La Risca) and Palma del Río 1 & 2, proving that our turnkey AKOTRACE® solution is the most trusted in the market, leaving the client with the highest level of satisfaction, from project planning, installation and completion, guaranteeing the criticality of the electrical heat tracing system, assuring the circulation of the molten salt fluid at high temperatures to prevent undesired plant shutdowns.

 As always, we´ll be pleased to share with you the work done in this plant in future posts like we have done in the past with other projects such Gemasolar or Valle 1&2.
