Situated
in
Whyalla
on
the
east
coast
of
South
Australia,
the
A$230m
SolarOasis
project
will
consist
of
300
Wizard
Power
Big
Dish
solar-thermal
concentrators,
which
are
expected
to
generate
66GWh
of
electricity
each
year.
At
500
sq
m,
Wizard
Power’s
Big
Dish
is
claimed
to
be
the
world’s
largest
paraboloidal-dish
solar
concentrator.
It
focuses
sunlight
to
concentrations
in
excess
of
2,000
times,
generating
heat
at
temperatures
of
more
than
1,500º
C,
says
the
company.
The
consortium
is
expected
to
start
building
the
plant
next
