Solar Power to Seoul
South Korea's Dongyang Engineering and Construction and Germany's SunTechnics will build a 20-megawatt solar plant in South Korea by 2008. Reuters notes that the project is part of South Korea's plan to raise clean and renewable energy usage to 5 percent by 2011 from the current 2.3 percent. The plant in Sinan, 400 kilometres south-west of Seoul, will be the size of 80 football fields or 600,000 square metres. The world's current biggest plant is Germany's Bavaria solar power station which generates 11 megawatts of electricity.
