Saudi developer and operator of power generation and water desalination plants ACWA Power has started construction of a 100MW concentrated solar power (CSP) project.

A total of £586 million has been invested into the plant which will be located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.

The project will also have a thermal storage system that is predicted to deliver electricity to almost 200,000 households, once it starts operations in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The so-called Redstone CSP project is also forecast to create 2,000 jobs.
