Morocco in the fast lane with world’s largest concentrated solar farm

It’s not just on the track that Morocco is aiming to become a world leader in renewable energy.

As well as a host nation of a Formula ePrix, the country is also home to the world’s largest concentrated solar farm.

Built on an area of more than 3,000 hectares in area – the size of 3,500 football fields – the Noor-Ouarzazate complex, produces enough electricity to power a city the size of Prague, or twice the size of Marrakesh.

Situated at the gateway to the Sahara Desert, the whole complex provides 580 megawatts – saving the planet from over 760,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
