2. • Moroccan Solar Plan
• Ouarzazate Solar Complex
• Integrated Moroccan Solar Plan
OUTLINE OF THE PRESENTATION

3. • What ?
• Equip Morocco with solar capacity of 2 GW
by 2020
• Solar energy to contribute to 14% to the
installed capacity
• Why?
• > 95% dependence on foreign fossil energy
• Growing electricity demand ~7%/yr (8 to 9%
for the peak)
• Who?
• Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy
• Publically funded Ltd Company, created in
2009
• How?
• Project « NOOR » (light, in arabic)
• Utility scale solar power plants
• 7 sites = 5 + Midelt + Tata
