Morocco will produce electricity from solar energy even after sunset

ArabiaWeather.com - Khitam Amer - The Kingdom of Morocco is constructing the first plant to produce electricity from solar energy with a capacity of 160 megawatts, and it will work to increase its electrical capacity in the coming years by about 500 megawatts, and then it will be one of the largest solar power plants in the world.

Experts and specialists in the field of energy expect that the generation of electricity from this station will reach 2000 megawatts by 2020.

The Ouarzazate station in Morocco is the first link in a network that includes dozens of electrical stations specialized in the production of alternative energy, most notably solar and wind energy in the Sahara desert of North Africa and the countries of the Middle East.

The Ouarzazate station includes the construction of five stations that will represent 38% of the actual electric generation capacity by 2020, noting that it will supply approximately 32,000 people with electric energy and will save about 230,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually, and will also store energy. With the largest possible capacity, electricity will be produced even after sunset.
