Abengoa is set to construct Mexico’s first solar-thermal power plant in Agua Prieta. The facility will be one of the first solar and gas-fired hybrid power plants in the world. Initially, Abengoa will develop the concentrated solar plant comprised of a 12 MW solar field. The second phase of the project will contain a 464.4 MW combined cycle plant with one steam turbine, two gas turbines, a heat exchanger, cooling, condensing and power systems, and auxiliary equipment and systems. Operations are expected to commence within 22 months.
