26 October 2012 - FCC has completed the construction of its first solar thermal power plant in Spain a 50 MW plant in Palma del Río (Córdoba).
Among those in attendance at inauguration ceremonies at the Guzmán plant were Antonio Ávila, Minister of the Economy in the Andalusian Regional Government, and Eduardo González, General Manager of FCC Energía.
