FCC Servicios lndustriales
y Energéticos
From its inception, FCC Servicios Industriales y Energéticos, as a group of subsidia-
ries engaging in the renewable energies sector, has been a leader in the process of
designing, building, and operating thermosolar plants in Spain and around the world.
These projects represent a firm commitment to boost its activities in the renewables
sector where it aims to consolidate its positioning as a leader in comprehensive pro-
ject management under the Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) contrac-
ting arrangement.
In addition to the Guzmán Project, FCC Servicios Industriales y Energéticos leads
other Thermosolar Plant projects in Spain and studies various offers through the
world, thereby contributing to the realisation of the Group’s commitment to clean
energy and eco-efficiency.
50 MW
installed capacity
About one million cubic metres of earth had
to be removed, 4,800 pilings spanning al-
most 30 km in length had to be built, and
approximately 60 km of roads.
The water tank of the thermosolar plant,
with a total volume of 750,000 m
3
, covers
an area of 12 hectares. It was built to store
the water required for the plant’s operations
during one and a half years.
The solar field
The solar field, comprising 96 bonds each
of which is 600 metres long, contains nearly
60 kilometres of parabolic-cylinder collec-
tors. In each of the collectors, solar radia-
tion is concentrated 70 times so that the
thermal fluid which circulates through the
central tubes reaches a temperature of 393
degrees.
Each row of collectors is 300 metres long
and 5.7 metres high and thanks to the hy-
draulic engines of each collector, follow the
movements of the sun to concentrate solar
radiation during all hours of sunshine.
