"Solar Park" for South Africa?

This Engineering News article tells us "The CCI was partnering with the South African government to assess the possibility of building its first solar park, which could add up to 5 000 MW of electricity to South Africa’s energy mix." The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) Chairperson Ira Magaziner was quoted as saying: "South Africa has long been known for the gold it held under ground, but the country also had gold in the sky..." The park's feasibility study is scheduled to be completed by end December 2009 and construction could commence as early as December 2010!
