12 Best Practice: Europe s first parabolic trough power plants, full CSP Video Page 12

13 Best Practice: Andasol 1-3 (stand alone CSP Plant incl. TES*) 3x50 MW = 150 MW Total financing volume approx. EUR 1bn Solar power for more than half a million people Andasol 3: start of operation expect. in summer 2011; Co-investors: Stadtwerke München (Munich City Utilities), RWE Innogy, Rhein Energie, Ferrostaal the first parabolic trough power plant in Europe and until now the only one in the world working with thermal storage (allows a stable electricity supply 24 h / 7 d) Regulation Feed-in compensation for CSP definitively guaranteed by Spanish RD #661 (May 2007) * TES Thermal Energy Storage Page 13

14 Best Practice: Blythe, pot. model for Saudi Arabia with dry cooling concept Blythe, California: 1 Gigawatt (1GW) The world s largest solar power plant solar power for more than 300,000 US households Construction on Blythe 1-2 (2x250 MW) started Blythe 1-4: 1,120 loops* 179,200 absorber pipes 2.15 million mirrors 192,000 tons of steel 2,240 hectares of land more than 1,000 jobs more than 1 million tons of CO 2 emissions saved p.a. Solar Millennium US projects (2 GW in California and Nevada) will feature dry cooling technology that uses 90% less water than water-cooled design * HelioTrough technology Page 14
