Capable of generating over 9 MWe, with a 4-hour thermal energy storage capacity and 153,000 m2 of mirror area, it will produce renewable electricity to be exported via the EDF grid. Solar thermal tech firm, SUNCNIM, is set to build and operate the world’s first ever Fresnel mirror-powered solar thermodynamic plant in Llo, in the Pyrenees, France. The plant will have the ability to store four hours of energy, be able to generate 9 MWe from its 153,000 m² mirror area and will deliver renewable power to the EDF grid. This new technology has been developed by a team led by Professor Xavier de la Torre at ESPCI (
