(LEAD) Daesung Group to build solar thermal power plant
SEOUL, Dec. 19 (Yonhap) -- Daesung Group, an energy-focused business
conglomerate, said Friday it will build a solar thermal power plant in
southeastern South Korea, as part of government efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The tower-type plant with 200 kilowatts of generation capacity will be built at a
site near the city of Daegu, 302 kilometers southeast of Seoul, Daesung said in a
statement.
The Ministry of Knowledge Economy and two private companies will invest a total
of 11.6 billion won (US$8.98 million) to build the plant by 2010, according to
the statement.
Unlike traditional solar panel plants, a solar thermal power plant generates
electricity by concentrating the sun's heat using mirrors and other lenses. The
heat can then be stored and used to generate power when needed.
