Morocco plans to launch tenders by the end of next month for the construction of two concentrated solar power (CSP) plants of 200MW and 100 MW.
Morocco’s Solar Energy Agency (Masen) has chosen parabolic mirror technology for the 200 MW concentrated solar plant, and the 100 MW plant will also be built as a solar power tower.
Saudi Arabia’s Acwa Power is already building a 160 MW concentrating solar power plant in the Ouarzazate area under a government initiative to produce 2 gigawatts of solar power by 2020, which is the equivalent of about 38 percent of Morocco’s current installed generation capacity.
