6 FAQs about [Solar power and battery storage Morocco]

What is Morocco's first solar project?

Morocco’s 800 MW solar hybrid project at Midelt will be the first solar project in the world to include thermal (heat) storage of PV (Photovoltaic) as well as CSP (Concentrated Solar Power). Midelt’s first-of-a-kind hybrid solar and shared storage project will deliver dispatchable solar at 7 cents per kWh.

Could Morocco-UK Power Project be a zero carbon energy source?

Xlinks – the company behind the Morocco-UK Power Project – said the project is capable of generating for an average of 20+ hours a day, taking advantage of the high solar irradiance in the south of Morocco alongside consistent convection desert winds to provide an alternative source of zero carbon electricity to GB.

Can Morocco be a leader in EV battery manufacturing?

The investment is the first of its kind in Africa and the Middle East and represents Morocco’s push to be a leader in EV battery manufacturing. The gigafactory will create around 17,000 direct and indirect jobs, including 2,300 highly skilled positions.

Is Moroccan project the first hybrid solar project with CSP?

The Moroccan project marks the first time that the PV in a hybrid solar project with CSP will also charge the thermal energy storage incorporated in the CSP power block.

How will a 'zero-carbon electricity' project work in Morocco?

When domestic renewable energy generation in the United Kingdom drops due to low winds and short periods of sun, the project will harvest the benefits of long hours of sun in Morocco alongside the consistency of its convection Trade Winds, to provide a firm but flexible source of zero-carbon electricity.

Should Morocco co-locate PV and CSP and share CSP thermal storage?

This idea of colocating PV and CSP and sharing the CSP thermal storage is one that Schmitz believes will be widely applicable as energy grids become more saturated with renewables, not just Morocco’s, and as therefor more regulators move from lowest cost to “best fit” procurement.
