The 150 MW Andasol solar power station is a commercial parabolic trough solar thermal power plant, located in Spain. The Andasol plant uses tanks of molten salt to store solar energy so that it can continue generating electricity even when the sun isn't shining. Photovoltaic cells have been the building blocks of a solar power boom spurred by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, whose support for renewables, combined with Spain's abundant sunshine, has driven a wave of construction. Since he took power in 2018, energy developers have built solar parks, proved. Spain is one of the first countries to deploy large-scale solar photovoltaics, and is the world leader in concentrated solar power (CSP) production. Spain is also one of the European countries with the most hours of sunshine. Spain had 88MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 2,500MW by 2030. 85 GW of new renewable installations last year, underscores the immense potential and profitability of Spanish. As of 31 December 2024, the Spanish electricity system's installed capacity, including both the peninsular and non-peninsular systems, as well as generation and storage capacity, had increased by 4.
