In Morocco, Egypt, India and Mexico integrated combined cycle power plants of
approximately 150 MWe are planned as solar fossil plants using parabolic trough fields with
an equivalent capacity of 30 – 50 MWe. They are financed by the world bank with 50 Million
US$ each. On the Greek island Crete the European Union supports a 50 MWe trough system
[10]. Near Sevilla in Southern Spain a first 10 MWe solar tower will be erected in the next two
years, also supported by the European Union (PS10).
