Abengoa Secures O&M Contract for a 50 MW solar thermal plant of Ence Energía

Abengoa, the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the infrastructure, energy and water sectors, has been awarded the operation and maintenance of Termollano, a 50 MW parabolic trough solar thermal plant owned by ENCE Energía, a company dedicated to the production of electrical energy from natural resources such as biomass. The contract has a duration of three years extendible to 13.

Abengoa will be responsible for the provision of resources, materials and means necessary for the operation of the solar thermal plant located in Puertollano (Ciudad Real), as well as providing preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance services that are required for optimal operation of the plant and its best preservation. In addition, Abengoa will assume responsibility for the conservation and operation of machines and equipment in order to obtain maximum productivity, profitability and safety in the plant.
