The world's largest solar energy projects

From Foreign Policy - a list of the world's biggest solar energy projects.  The biggest solar energy project is 500MW, possibly expanding to 850MW.  

This is small when compared to South Africa's current power demand and supply schemes.  According to a government statement, expected peak demand capacity in South Africa for 2008 (with a 8-10% reserve margin) is around 38 000MW.  

The following list (from reuters) illustrates the amount of MW generated per power scheme:
