The project takes maximum advantage of the excellent environmental conditions in Portugal for solar power

World

The construction of the biggest Solar Plant in the world has started last week, right here in Portugal! The monster will occupy 60 hectares on the sunny Alentejo area (more exactly in Serpa), deliver 11 megawatts and give energy to 8 thousand homes.

€58 millions is the cost for such a big Solar Plant, which was funded by General Electric Energy Financial Services and has CataVento as a partner to do the work.

Good move for what some people call a 3rd world country, ehe.
