Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Morocco in the fast lane with world's largest
concentrated solar farm
The Kingdom of Morocco is a Northwest African
country that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to
the west. A large part of the country is mountainous, but the southeastern-most
portions are part of the Sahara Desert. There, the kingdom operates the world
largest solar farm that produces enough electricity to power over one million
homes.
As most of the energy need was provided by
imported fossil fuels, Morocco has been trying to increase the share of
renewable energy. Thanks partly to this newly built the Noor-Ouarzazate
complex, 35% of its energy is already renewable now. They are aiming to produce
more energy by renewables than fossil fuels by 2030.
They seem to have a clear goal to live with
clean energy under the clear sky.
Enjoy reading and learn how electricity is
generated in this mega powerplant and how it was financed.
