China Announces the World’s Largest Solar Plant
From the Three Gorges Dam to the Great Wall, China is known for its monumental projects that count among the biggest and grandest in the world. Recently the nation announced its latest supermassive project: the construction of the world’s largest solar power plant. Planned by China Technology Development Group Corp and privately-held Qinghai New Energy Group, the project will begin with a 30 MW plant in the Qaidam Basin that will expand to produce 1 GW of solar energy.

Great news-
Hopefully we can get solar prices competitive with fossil fuels in the early 2010s so that many more GW-scale solar farms are planned.
The current falling solar prices to record lows in Europe this month and the beginning of a global drop is encouraging. See details at: http://www.setenergy.org
