6 FAQs about [Energy renewable solutions Western Sahara]

Is Morocco dependent on Western Sahara for its energy supply?

But these developments have made Morocco partly dependent on Western Sahara for its energy supply. Morocco already gets 18% of its installed wind capacity and 15% of its solar from the occupied territory, and by 2030 that could increase to almost half of its wind and up to a third of its solar.

Could the Sahara be transformed into a solar farm?

In fact, around the world are all located in deserts or dry regions. it might be possible to transform the world’s largest desert, the Sahara, into a giant solar farm, capable of meeting the world’s current energy demand. Blueprints have been drawn up for projects in and that would supply electricity for millions of households in Europe.

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.

Will North Africa generate half its electricity from renewables by 2030?

But though the north African country intends to generate half its electricity from renewables by 2030, its plans show that much of this energy will come from wind and solar farms in occupied land in neighbouring Western Sahara.

Why is the EIB backing the Ouarzazate solar power station?

Have you read? The EIB is the European Union’s infrastructure investment arm and its backing of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station project, which by some estimates represents up to 60% of its value, reflects hopes in both Morocco and the EU that the power will flow beyond Morocco’s borders.

When will the Ouarzazate solar power station project start?

A further three phases of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station project are expected to be up and running by the middle of 2018, Mustapha Bakkoury, head of the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy, said in February.
