Morocco Poised to Become a Solar Superpower
The Moroccan city of Ouarzazate is on the edge of the Sahara Desert. It is now the center for four linked solar mega-plants. The plants, together with hydro and wind, will give Morocco, in North Africa, nearly half of its electricity from renewable energy by 2020. The project is a key part of Morocco’s plans to use its...
