Hassi R'Mel integrated solar combined cycle power station

Hassi R'Mel District, Algeria

The 2260th largest power station in the world

150 MW · Capacity

The Hassi R'Mel integrated solar combined cycle power station is an integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) power station near Hassi R'Mel in Algeria. The plant combines 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 output from the solar array is used in the steam turbine. The construction contract was signed on January 5, 2007 and the plant was developed by New Energy Algeria (NEAL), a joint venture between Sonatrach, Sonelgaz, and SIM. The station began producing electricity in June 2011. It was inaugurated July 14, 2011.
