The operating permit for the world’s largest solar plant has been granted in Portugal by economy minister, Manuel Pinho.
350,000 solar panels will be spread over 114 hectares, making it several times larger than the largest existing solar plant, in Germany.
The installed capacity of 49.6 megawatts will be able to produce 88 gigawatts of electricity a year. The 250 million euro project will create about 430 jobs.
There will also be a BP solar panel factory and a research lab on the site.
