Welcome to the forum Jagee. Yes the figures are hypothetical and were never intended to be taken literally in terms of single plant size. Nobody would build just one power station that large. It's theoretical conjecture. The figures are to indicate the overall land area that would be required in terms of providing the Solar Thermal generating capacity, equating to the national grid. Yes power stations would be distributed as they are now.
