Abengoa was responsible for the engineering, design and start-up of the plant, which consists of a natural gas combined cycle plant with a solar field of 224 parabolic trough
Solar collectors with the capacity to produce up to 25 MW of energy.
The 150 MW hybrid solar/gas plant is based in Hassi R 'Mel. According to Abengoa, it is the first solar plant in Algeria, RenewableEnergyFocus.com reported.
