Mexico City’s new solar power plant is ‘largest of its kind in the world’

World's largest solar panel installation of its kind began operation on Mexico City's Central de Abasto, boosting renewable energy.

An installation of solar panels said to be the largest of its kind in the world was put into operation Tuesday on the rooftops of Mexico City’s massive public wholesale market, the Central de Abasto (CEDA).

The 32,000 solar panels installed over 21 hectares (52 acres) above the capital’s Central de Abasto (CEDA) have 18 megawatts of capacity, and will generate up to 25 gigawatt hours (GWh) of renewable electricity per year, according to data from Mexico City officials.

That’s enough energy to power 10,000 homes for a year, officials added.
