Morocco’s new mega-project could tun it into a solar superpower

The handful of you that are actually familiar with Ouarzazate will know it as the place where movies like Lawrence of Arabia and The Mummy were filmed, but the Moroccan city is about to become a hell of a lot more significant in a few weeks. That’s because the world’s largest concentrated solar plant will become active in the city next months, which could potentially turn Morocco into a “solar superpower” that generates half of its electricity from renewable resources, and might even have enough spare electricity to send up to Europe.
