PLATAFORMA SOLAR DE ALMERÍA The SSPS plant would later be joined with the Spanish CESA-1 (Central Electrosolar de Almería), inaugurated in 1983, to form what we know today as the ‘Plataforma Solar de Almería’. On the occasion of this anniversary, there were a series of educational activities as well as a ‘Celebration Day’ for all the personnel which was attended by some very well-known persons. The cultural activities consisted of a photography contest, and as an educational activity in the schools, an essay contest and another on general knowledge on a local TV channel. Figure 5.3 Winner of the 1st prize in the photography competition The ‘Celebration Day’ took place on October 28th, and was highlighted by the presence of the Minister of Education and Science, Mercedes Cabrera Calvo-Sotelo, and the Secretary of State for Universities and Research, Miguel Ángel Quintanilla Fisac.

EVENTS The DLR (German Aerospace Center) also contributed to making it a great day with the attendance of several of their highest officers, with special mention due to Mr. Günther Hamacher, member of their Board of Directors. The ceremony was the perfect setting for acknowledging the dedication of workers who, like the PSA, had been in service for 25 years. The Director General of CIE- MAT, Dr. Juan Antonio Rubio Rodriguez, gave them the award designed for the occasion in a memorable ceremony. Scientific congresses The ‘13th SolarPACES Symposium’ took place in the Seville School of Engineering from June 20-23, 2006. This symposium is considered the congress of the ‘concentrating’ solar community. Figure 5.6 Presentation of 25- year service awards This year the Plataforma Solar staff was particularly involved, serving on the Scientific and Organizing Committees and a large number in attendance. The organization was done jointly by the Seville School of Engineering (main campus) the ‘PROTERMOSOLAR’ association and the PSA-CIEMAT. This Symposium was especially successful, with over 400 participants. This is because of the high point of maturity that solar thermal electricity is experiencing in Spain. In fact, the Organizing Committee designed the distribution of sessions in such a way that June 21 st , “Industry Day”, was devoted exclusively to the current industrial interest in these technologies. The sessions included a round table in which the main companies involved in the construction of the first commercial solar thermal power plants in Spain participated. To complete the day’s activities, SOLÚCAR offered a visit to the PS10 plant in Sanlúcar la Mayor (Seville), which will be the first commercial plant to enter in service delivering solar thermal power to the Spanish electricity grid.
