LINTHICUM – Hydro’s Extrusion Americas unit has signed an agreement with Florida Power & Light to supply custom aluminum extrusions for the first hybrid solar/fossil fuel energy generating facility.  Hydro will produce the frames, supports, legs and connectors that will raise the 180,000 curved mirrors off the ground and allow them to track the sun throughout the day.  The process of capturing solar heat and creating steam to turn a generating turbine will produce 75 MW of electricity.
