Solar Energy: The PS10 is among a handful of concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) plants in the world, although that number is expected to grow.

Gamesa Technology Corp. and enXco, an EDF Energies Nouvelles company, said the 38 MW Chestnut Flats Wind Farm in Pennsylvania achieved commercial operation on December 29, 2011.

The wind power project features 18 G90-2.0 MW and one G87-2.0 MW Gamesa wind turbines. enXco’s portfolio includes solar power, wind energy and biomass technologies.

The wind energy plant can exist of a maximum of 19 wind turbines, and is expected to represent a total investment of ?90 million.
