This is a list of power stations that are based on Solar thermal energy technology.

Operational

  • Solar Energy Generating Systems, USA Mojave desert California, total of 354MW, parabolic trough design
  • Nevada Solar One, USA Nevada, 64MW, parabolic trough design
  • Lidell power station, Australia, 95MW heat, 35MW electrical equivalent as steam input for convential power station, Fresnel reflector design [1]
  • PS10 solar power tower, Spain Seville, 11MW, power tower design

Under construction

Announced

  • Mojave Solar Park, USA California, 553MW, parabolic trough design[2]
  • 70 miles north east of Los Angeles, USA California, 500MW, dish design [3]
  • Ivanpah, USA California, 400MW, power tower design [4]
  • Imperial Valley, USA California, 300MW, dish design [5]
  • San Luis Obispo, USA California, 177MW, Fresnel reflector design [6]
  • Uppington, South Africa, 100MW, power tower design [7]
  • Barswtow, USA California, 59MW with heat storage and back-up, parabolic trough design [8]
  • Kuraymat Plant, Egypt, 40MW steam input for a gas powered plant, parabolic trough design [9][10]
  • Hassi R'mel, Algeria, 25MW steam input for gas powered plant, parabolic trough design [11]
  • Cloncurry solar power station, Australia, 10MW with heat storage, power tower design [12]

Note, that for the dish announcements a test site with 40 dishes producing 1MW would be constructed in 2007. [13] Actual construction or progress of this test site could not be found on the internet or obtained by other means. [14]

Out of commission
