NATION'S GREEN SOLUTIONS POWERING THE PLANET

World benefiting from strong support for renewables

On a huge area of land 10 times bigger than New York's Central Park, the world's biggest solar farm is taking shape.

When completed next year, the $4 billion Benban park in Egypt will generate 1.8 gigawatts of electricity, and directly avoid 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions that would otherwise have been created by alternative power generation sources.
