Solar thermal energy park by makemakey, build your own solar thermal farm!
Provides 10 MW of green energy, at 5×14 area, but needs a bit of water for the steam turbines.
Building $ 8000
Running $ 64 /W
Area 5×14
Water 240 m3/W
Polution 0
Noise 20
Idea is that a thermal solar park is cheaper to build then photovoltaics, but is more cumbersome to operate, it needs water and slightly more expensive to run. Needs more area then wind, and more expensive to build.
However its upside is less noise and slighlty lower running cost per MW.
