Portugal opens major solar plant

Last thing first:

“Prime Minister Jose Socrates has said he wants 45% of Portugal’s power consumption to come from renewable energy by 2010.

… only one thing to say: CHAPEAU!

The story is, Portugal pushed the start button of the world’s most powerful solar power plant and this is producing the power needed for 8000 homes.

The 11-megawatt plant has 52,000 photovoltaic modules, which will produce 20 gigawatt hours of power each year.
