Can the Moroccan Desert Power Europe with Solar Thermal Generated Electricity?

The Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (Masen) and the industrial consortium Dii last week signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Morocco regarding a cooperation project. The aim of this cooperation project is the development of a large solar project in Morocco which, among others, will demonstrate the feasibility of the export of solar generated electricity to Europe. Masen will act as project developer and manage the overall process in Morocco, especially the specification of the project and the identification of locations.

Dii will act as an enabler, providing its expertise in developing a feasible business case for the planned solar project. This will include the preparation of economic and regulatory conditions for the export of electricity from the deserts to Europe. Source: Solar Thermal Magazine
