At its planned height of 1 kilometer (.62 mile) and a diameter of 170 metres, the solar tower will have wind speeds of 54 kilometres per hour that will produce an estimated 200 megawatts of electricity – enough to supply 200,000 households per year, says Schiel.
Construction on the solar power station is expected to begin by mid 2003 and the plant is expected to be up and running by 2005.
