Hassi R'Mel integrated solar combined cycle power station

The Hassi R'Mel integrated solar combined cycle power station is a hybrid power station that is to be built near Hassi R'Mel in Algeria, thought to be the first of its kind. The plant will combine a 25 MW parabolic trough concentrating solar power array, covering an area of over 180,000 m2, in conjunction with a 130 MW combined cycle gas turbine plant, so cutting carbon emissions compared to a traditional power station.

The construction contract was signed on January 5, 2007and the plant is to be developed by New Energy Algeria (NEAL), a joint venture between Sonatrach Sonelgaz and SIM.
