Israel's Solel to build largest solar park in world in California
By ISRAEL21c staff
July 26, 2007
An Israeli company is doing its part to help Americans develop renewable, environmentally-friendly energy, and at the same time reduce dependence on foreign oil. Beit Shemesh-based Solel has announced that it has signed a contract with Pacific Gas and Electric Company to build the world's largest solar plant - to be established in California's Mojave Desert.
The project will deliver 553 megawatts of solar power, the equivalent of powering 400,000 homes, to PG&E's customers in northern and central California. When fully operational in 2011, the Mojave Solar Park plant will cover up to 6,000 acres in the Mojave Desert. ...
Sad we have to import this technology rather than using home grown.
Note how quickly this plant will be operational. Nuclear can't compete.
