Solar Energy Resource and Power Generation in Morocco:
All these technologies are making a major contribution to the exploitation of solar energy and the development of RE on various scales in Morocco''s private and public sectors.
Following the recent awarding of contracts for the Midelt II and Midelt III solar projects to Saudi company ACWA Power, Moroccan energy experts are highlighting the strategic importance of photovoltaic technology in ensuring the success of the country's renewable energy transition.
In the framework of the MSP, Morocco has completed one of the largest solar complexes in the world, aiming to contribute to meeting domestic and European green energy demands. The Noor Ouarzazate complex extends over 6000 acres and consists of four power plants, each using different technologies.
Experts say Morocco's shift toward photovoltaic solar energy signals a move in the right direction, particularly in overcoming past shortcomings associated with concentrated solar power (CSP) technology used at the Noor Ouarzazate complex.
“There are clear technical differences between Morocco's solar power plants, especially regarding storage technologies,” said Amine Bennouna, an energy expert. “These differences impact operational efficiency and overall plant performance.”
