Abener has extensive experience in designing and constructing solar-thermal plants using both tower technology and parabolic trough technology. This experience has been acquired from building the world’s first two commercially operated solar Tower plants PS10 and PS20 in addition to five solar power plants using parabolic trough technology, mounting to a total installed capacity of 250 MW. With more than 1,000 MW currently under construction, the company can rightfully claim to have a portfolio of projects that includes the largest plants in the world.
Abener is a pioneer in developing integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) hybrid plants, which bring together the advantages of solar energy and the benefits of combined cycle. Proof of this can be seen in the world’s first solar-hybrid plants – the 150 MW solar-combined cycle (ISCC) plant in Hassi-R’mel, Algeria, and the 470 MW solar-combined cycle (ISCC) plant in Ain-Ben Mathar, Morocco.
