Saudi Arabia and SoftBank Plan World's Largest Solar Project

> At 200 gigawatts, the Softbank project planned for the Saudi desert would be about 100 times larger than the next biggest proposed development and a third more than what the global photovoltaic industry supplied worldwide last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

The scale is incredible. I guess much of SA's power demand is from air conditioning and desalination. That could mean that solar can contribute much more than in other countries.
