Abengoa has begun operation of Solaben 1 and Solaben 6, two 50 MW parabolic trough solar plants located in Extremadura, Spain. The two plants belong to the 200 MW Extremadura Solar Complex.
Abengoa has also closed EUR 200 million financing on both plants, which the company says will free up the equivalent amount of equity it has invested as part of its divestment plan.
