Mildura Solar Power Station is a concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) project being built in Carwrap, south of Mildura in the state of Victoria, Australia. The project will use high performance solar cells used to power satellites. The plant was proposed to have an installed capacity of 100MW initially to reduce the annual greenhouse gas emissions by 396,000t.
China intends to develop a solar power station in space as part of its efforts to cut down greenhouse gases and tackle energy shortage, and E.ON plans to take two of its gas-fired power plants in Germany offline due to unprofitability.
