"We havebeen researching and developingsolar technologyfor a decadeand nowwe want to analyzethe technical feasibility ofconcentrating solar power (CSP) generation," saidengineering directorEletrosul, Ronaldodos SantosCustódio.

Electrosullauncheda tender forthe construction of fourstationsin the states ofRioGrande doSulandMatoGrosso doSul
The facilitywill usetechnology developedin the U.S. andSpainto studythe possibility ofcommercial concentrated solar thermal power throughout Brazil.
AccordingCustódio,thecompany based inFlorianópolishas already invested30 millionreais(U.S.$13mn)insolar power projects, butdid not disclosethe valueprojectedinvestments insolar thermal technology.
