There is also one in Spain, near Sevilla - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemasolar_Thermosolar_Plant

Is it economical to run it in Spain? Or is it also a tech demonstration/research at this point?
I would like to see someone figure out how to make it viable, but I have not heard of anyone doing so yet.

Itβs been in commercial operation ever since it started operating, and the company running it have since started two more solar projects in Spain, so Iβd say it is economical.
Kinda makes sense, Spain, and especially southern Spain, where these are located, is getting a lot of sun all year.
