Dear MEL Topic Readers,
World's largest concentrated solar plant switches on in the Sahara
A bold move by an African kingdom, Morocco. The country locates in
north-western Africa and has a population of 34 million. It spans from the
Atlantic Ocean, to mountainous areas, to the Sahara desert where unlimited sunshine
is available. So why not making use of the renewable energy to power up the homes
in the area? It’ll reduce the imported fossil fuels that currently provides 97%
of the country’s energy source as well as carbon emissions.
When this project is completed in 2018, it’ll be the world largest
solar plant and provide enough energy for over a million homes. It is partly
financed by the World Bank expecting this project initiates a clean energy
future by a greener, cutting edge solar technology.
Enjoy reading and learning about this mega plant for a greener future
in the desert.
