Australia's Ambitious $16 Billion Solar Project Will Be The World's Biggest
The world's most ambitious renewable resource project to day is the recommended Australia-- ASEAN Power Link. This project would combine the globe's largest solar farm, the largest battery, as well as the longest undersea electricity cable. The 10 gigawatt (GW) solar farm would cover 30,000 acres in Australia's warm Northern Territory. That is about the matching of 9 million roof solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) panels.
