BERLIN, Aug. 25 (UPI) — Germany last week unveiled the world’s second-largest solar power plant amid reports that the country won’t reach its ambitious CO2-emissions reduction targets.
The giant solar power plant in Brandenburg is made up of 700,000 shiny photovoltaic modules that cover an area of roughly 210 soccer fields. Located on Soviet-era military training grounds, the 53-MW plant can produce power for an estimated 15,000 households. It is topped globally only by a 60-MW plant in southern Spain. America has a hand in this: Tempe, Ariz.-based First Solar operates the plant together with a German project developer. The consortium has invested more than $200 million.
