The Mojave Solar Park is a solar thermal power facility currently contracted to be constructed in the Mojave Desert. The facility is being constructed by Solel Inc and is designed to have a capacity of 553MW. Upon completion it will become the world's largest solar collection facility both in capacity and land size (nine square miles).[citation needed] The facility is being constructed for Pacific Gas and Electric in order to meet California's renewable energy laws requiring 20 percent of power provided be from renewable sources by 2010.[citation needed]
