ACCESS TO THE “PLATAFORMA SOLAR DE ALMERÍA”

CALL MODALITIES

Two types of access are established:

1. Competitive Open Access (COA):

As a competitive selection process, access proposals are evaluated and ranked by an external Access Committee, based on scientific excellence and the technical quality of the proposal, following an open and transparent procedure.

At least 20% of the annual access capacity of each PSA facility will be allocated through competitive access.

Competitive access may include certain advantages for users applying through this modality, for example, in relation to the fees established for accessing the infrastructure’s services, the absence of the need for a bilateral agreement between PSA-CIEMAT and the applicant entity, or other aspects that may be determined.

2. On-Demand Access (ODA):

On-Demand Access is not associated with any open call for proposals, and users are not required to undergo evaluation by an external Access Committee.

Users may contact the PSA Management directly at any time, and access will be granted to proposals supported by a bilateral agreement between PSA-CIEMAT and the requesting research organization or company.
