South Africa’s planned 5,000 megawatt solar energy park, which will be the world’s largest if built, could create as many as 12,300 jobs, Minister of Energy Dipuo Peters said.
The project, which may be built at Upington in the nation’s Northern Cape province, is ideal for the establishment of a solar park because of intense solar radiation for much of the year, she told reporters in Johannesburg today.
