Endesa to install 100 MW of solar PV power in Spain

The utitility and Isofot'on, a Spanish cell producer, have sealed a deal that will ensure availability of cells. The agreement also includes the participation of both firms and the Andalusian government in a silicon production plant, which will be the 7th in the world and that will ensure the availability of raw materials for the project. The agreement reached between Endesa and Isofotón will allow the former to ensure availability for the solar plantations planned from now until 2011

The deal includes the installation of exemplary plants with concentration technology (SFC), for sale in later stages.

In concentration technology, the used semiconductor is gallium arsenide which ensures a high efficiency per area used when the light is concentrated.

Besides, Endesa, Isofotón and Andalusia's Regional Government are currently collaborating to promote and develop a silicon production plant in Los Barrios (Cádiz), which will respond to the increased demand of this material, which is basic for the production of modules. The plant will also be a key factor in this deal.

The project, called Silicio Energía, will kickstart in the coming months, while the manufacturing plant is expected to be completed and operational by 2009. The amount invested will reach 250 million euros and will have a capacity of 2,500 tonnes of polisilicon per year, corresponding to 250 MW of cells each year.
