Concentrated solar power with parabolic trough collectors

Energy Infrastructure Partners co-invests in Mirror alongside ContourGlobal, a global power utility with a strong focus on renewables and thermal power generation.

ContourGlobal is an excellent partner as this technology requires expertise from two different sectors: steam turbine power plants, which they independently operate in the North of Spain, as well as renewable energy sources.

ContourGlobal and Energy Infrastructure Partners have previously worked closely together on a number of projects, including Sunscreen. ContourGlobal has the experience and team necessary to ensure Mirror runs efficiently for decades to come.
