The Planta Solar 20 (PS20) solar power plant is pictured here alongside its older cousin, PS10. Located in Sanlucar la Mayor, Spain, it once held the title of the world's most powerful solar power tower, until the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California was switch on in 2014. The Spanish 20-megawatt (MW) solar power tower was completed back in 2009, and has the capacity to power 10,000 homes.
âJust look at the 170,000 shining heliostat mirrors and the three towers that would dwarf the Statue of Liberty. Ivanpah is the largest solar thermal energy facility in the world with 392 MW of capacity -- meaning it can produce enough renewable electricity to power nearly 100,000 homes.â.The secretaryâs assertion was based on the DOEâs expectation of annual production of 1,065,000 MWh at Ivanpah.Just look at the 170,000 shining heliostat mirrors and the three towers that would dwarf the Statue of Liberty.
