But this time Morocco had already begun the construction of a giant, the country was building a giant power plant in the city of Ouarzazate, is located at the end of the Sahara desert.

Construction entirely completed in 2020, and will be the largest solar power plant in the world. MASEN head - agency stated Moroccan solar power plant, in the process of completing the project 'satisfactory'.
"This project will prevent further exploitation of natural resources Morocco, safeguard the environment and sustain its development," said Bakkoury in a ceremony attended by the King of Morocco Mohammed VI, was quoted by The Plaid Zebra,
Some 500,000 solar panels on Noor 1 will recharge up to 160 megawatts (MW) in the area of 2,500 to 3,000 hectares, and will cost 7 billion dirhams, or $ 713 million The entire project is estimated to be worth USD 9 billion (USD 121 billion), and has the ability to produce approximately 2,000 MW of clean solar energy.

The original developer Saudi ACWA power led consortium that won the contract to build Noor 1 in 2013 ago. A group of technology and development later won a contract to build the next stage of the project, called the Noor Noor 2 and 3. The funding by the World Bank, African Development Bank and the European Development Bank.

Morocco is a country that has oil and gas reserves are limited, and imports most of the energy it needs from foreign countries, which is costly. This prompted the country take advantage of what they got - in hot climates and landscapes rich with sunlight.
Environment minister of Morocco, Hakima el-Haite, stating that Morocco imports 94 energy in the form of fossil fuels from other countries.

"We also use the subsidized fossil fuels that costs a lot, so when I heard about the potential of solar energy, we think; why not?" Hakima said in the Guardian.
Noor Noor 2 and 3 will be completed in 2017. Engineers declared power plants have the ability to accommodate energu interrupted 8 hours, allowing production of solar energu 24/7. Once the project is complete, Morocco will start exporting energy to Europe.
Similar projects started by other countries in the world. Redstone, South Africa will build a 100 MW power plant, while the solar power project with a mixture of 210 MW power will be built in the desert in Chile.
