World's Biggest Solar Energy Power Station
According to Guardian Unlimited, a plan to build the world’s biggest solar energy power station, covering about 250 hectares and capable of sustaining 130,000 households, has been unveiled in Portugal.
The park would be visible from space, according to a spokesman for the owners of the site at an abandoned pyrite mine near the town of Beja, in the southern Alentejo region.
With a potential output of 116 megawatts, the new station would be several times the size of what is now the world’s largest solar energy plant. The output would be fed into the Portuguese electricity grid at a government-set price.

Comments are sorta kinda broken right now. We're working on it but to save energy can only work in daytime when solar system is at peak performance.
