Morocco is building Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Sahara
The Ouarzazate Solar Power Station site has used innovative methods to generate and store the sun''s rays, particularly the latest developments in concentrated solar power. The humming, tracking mirrors of the first two phases concentrate the sun''s rays onto a synthetic oil that runs through pipes and heats it to 350°C (662°F), creating
Harnessing Solar Power in Morocco
Additionally, renewable energy assures Morocco''s rural population that their source of energy is affordable. According to Mohammed Jamil al-Ramahi, the CEO of Masdar (the company that received the contract for the Noor CSP Complex), "It is now cheaper to build renewable energy power plants than those based on fossil fuels."
6 FAQs about [Morocco cheapest way to store solar energy]
Does Morocco need a solar power station?
Morocco plans to generate 42% of its energy from renewables by 2020, rising to 52% by 2030, with solar, wind and hydropower each providing a third of the total. The new Ouarzazate Solar Power Station will help Morocco meet its renewable power targets. Image: Solar Business Hub The country is well on its way to achieving that goal.
What is Morocco's first solar project?
Morocco’s 800 MW solar hybrid project at Midelt will be the first solar project in the world to include thermal (heat) storage of PV (Photovoltaic) as well as CSP (Concentrated Solar Power). Midelt’s first-of-a-kind hybrid solar and shared storage project will deliver dispatchable solar at 7 cents per kWh.
What is the best solar map in Morocco?
They started with the best map to date of Eastern Morocco’s Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) – the solar resource used by CSP – a high-quality satellite solar map with the closest-ever spatial resolution: 1 X 1 km per pixel, and with twenty years of DNI data.
Should Morocco co-locate PV and CSP and share CSP thermal storage?
This idea of colocating PV and CSP and sharing the CSP thermal storage is one that Schmitz believes will be widely applicable as energy grids become more saturated with renewables, not just Morocco’s, and as therefor more regulators move from lowest cost to “best fit” procurement.
What is CSP & how does it work in Morocco?
CSP is a form of solar energy that can store its solar energy thermally for dispatch later when needed, whether day or night. Morocco stands out also in meeting its targets with a steady pipeline of renewable installations coming online.
Is Morocco bringing the cost of Technology down?
Mafalda Duarte, the manager of Climate Investment Funds (CIF), told The Guardian in 2016 that: “Morocco is showing real leadership and bringing the cost of the technology down in the process.”
