How the world's largest concentrated solar power project works

- Modern technologies create opportunities for any state to switch to renewable sources of cheap energy from water, wind, or the sun.
But for this to happen, of course, efforts must be made and several large-scale reforms and projects implemented, as was done, for instance, in Morocco. How did this country manage to build the largest concentrated solar power plant that generates electricity even at night?
And what has enabled Morocco, which has meager oil and gas reserves, to become the largest energy importer in the Middle East and North Africa?
Check out our video! Morocco is the only country in North Africa that does not have its own fossil fuel reserves and imports more than 90% of its energy resources. Attempts to develop the industry led to electricity consumption increasing by 5.6% per year, and there is nowhere to take it within the country. The government spends billions of dollars importing fuel.
To rid the state of energy dependence, King Mohammed VI set a goal: To generate 52% of electricity needs using green energy by 2030.
But how will it be achieved? Hydro resources in Morocco are bad; most of the rivers dry up, and reservoirs built in the 1960s provide the population with drinking water, but their energy resource is limited. In 2008 the authorities adopted the New Energy Strategy.

God bless morroco from Egypt 🇪🇬
Only €700.000? How? These projects are usually into the millions or even billions
Obviously nobody checked those numbers.
Cmon man! If a decimal was in the wrong place let people know. This is very interesting and a mistake in cost reporting takes way from this piece
It costed $2.5 Billion to build. it has a 1.4 TWh net annual output for the csp part.
It must have been 700 millions for one part and 2.5 billion for all the 4 plants. One wind turbine is around 2-4 mln USD.
I don not know, if they added the video after your comment, but ongoing from time 7:36 you can clearly hear them and read yourself saying 2.5 billion dollars
So proud when I hear about developing countries achieving such brilliant goals! Good job Morocco!
Thank you for the video.
Very informative and well done
2 things, Morocco’s Map is incorrect (include the Moroccan Sahara) and 700000 dollars is false please verify
thank s it helped me for a science project 👍👍
Where can I get the company information that manufacture the solar reserve energy
When will the next one be built?
Many thanks 🙏 but need to show the complete map of Morocco 🇲🇦
It all looks very impressive. I was actually brought here by the fact that my country is planning to embark on a similar (though smaller) project. Just one quibble: at 4:00, I think he said the facility uses 19 tons of diesel fuel per day. That's a lot of carbon-emitting fossil fuel for a supposedly green energy source. Can this thing really be considered a source of renewable energy if it uses that much fossil fuel?
I love the fact that the CSP is air cooled in order to reduce the water usage especially in dry geographic areas. Now we just need to develop technology which can scavenge 100% of the thermal energy to be reused in the process.
Incrível é pouco, isso é fenobarbital 👍🤝
will like to know the cost to establish such facility in Africa
Can anyone please explain how Morocco was successful with this project, while the United States (Nevada) failed at this project? It is mind-boggling on how it costs the U.S. BILLIONS of dollars and was unsuccessful, meanwhile, Morocco was successful and only used $700,000...??
It obviously cost more for Morocco.
19 tons of diesel fuel are used per day. Maybe that's not much by their standards, but I expected it to be ZERO.
Yes solar power stations also require diesel fuel, the same way nuclear power plants requires natural gas. Fossil fuels are key to modern civilization. You can't escape those
In Agadir now, just heard about this. I want to drive to see it? Do they do tours? 😂
Awesome
Please corect the map of morocco
Westen sahara is a morrocan land too
For 99% of Earths countries, its not. Never been and taken by military force.
Sahara Morocco 🇲🇦
The "E" in Ouarzazate is silent.
Masdar
Maybe 700,000 bitcoins??
it is a huge mistake that you didn't show all of Morocco's map which includes the Moroccan Sahara.I hope you correct it.
👏👏👏👏
Only 125,000 homes? Sounds like a lot for little return. That is about 1/3 of the population of Sacramento Ca.. Need three times the land to produce enough energy for only the homes in Sac? What would it take to produce enough for London or Shanghai?
They have a lot of land. They could fill the desert and power most of the UE.
Morocco saved over 1.5 billion US Dollars of energy imports thanks to Noor Ouarzazat, and that is a huge amount of a country with a GDP of $120 billion.
oh i thought this was familiar it's the map from battlefield 2042
700.000$ ??
PLF is just 13 % so at any time all these solar panels to replace with in 10 years again and again. 265 days power is generated
Thanks
How can this be done for only $700,000?
9 billion was the total cost if not more , the video is wrong
it's a mistake they mean 700mil maybe
6:29 WTF Warsaw?
[GHXX] icao an example runway for : eagleprogress electric aircraft on FS9 microsoft...Boeing project
4:00 19 tons of diesel fuel per day needed for the process? What? Then where is the green side of all of this?
it's called Ouarzazate not Ouarzazaté
This is being presented as "proven" technology. I'd love to see some ACTUAL performance data from these units. The Ivanpah (Nevada) plant took 7 years to get to 90% of its claimed annual capacity. The Crescent Dunes (California) has never got even close. Tragic for those awaiting the off-take supply. So far the Capex cost has been about US$5M/MW. Conventional PV plants in Australia have a Capacity Factor of about 17%. These plants are claiming 26% to 36%. How close does the dream get to the inconvenient truth. Wind plants across all of Australia average a CF of about 30%. Forget the installed capacity and how many houses that these plants can supply. I'm used to my power on demand 24/7/365 and am happy to pay for it. Ivanpah ended up consuming >4x the initial estimate annual natural gas consumption. Update: I note GlobalData info works out at a Capacity Factor of only 21% for the plants between 2019-2021. I would think that the cheaper PV would have provided about the same. What was the final chargeout cost??
Hey we dont have any water....lets use some of it to make power.
I've been there. helios one😅😅
la propreté mot clé des énergies futures
probably need a lot of workers to clean off the mirrors?
or are there window washer bots?
Great move for the energy independence of Morocco. I hope they make a better job of CPS than the US did at Ivanpah. It looks like they have learnt something from that debacle. Don't kid yourself any of this will have the slightest effect on "saving the planet".
Didn't nobody saw edgerunner 2049?
the cost was $700,00? i think you are off by a few zeros.
19 tonnes of diesel needed a day to keep a solar plant running...does that not defeat the purpose?
Environmentalists never think this far into stuff😂
As a Moroccan I reported this video as misinformation because of the incorrect map of the country
You mean 700 million dollars
It doesn't.
This is bird killing machine !! Wonder how many 10's thousands of birds a year?
Your gonna run out of land building this stuff. Agriculture land.
Yooooooo
A question
How hot is that concentrated solar energy
it depends, at the focal point in different tec can get up to 2500 Celsius, in this tecnology in the video i think is somewhere between 400 celsius and 1000 celsius...
@@Boimeirelles
Lol I thought it could reach million degrees
Guess I was wrong 😔
You only showed 50% of Morocco's map. A mistake not to be tolerated by Moroccans. Wait for the hit.
No one needs this anymore, when HelioVis solar thermal tech exists, that is 50% more efficient and 30 - 50% cheaper than conventional solar thermal plants.
Heliovis uses the exact same tech, linear focusing parabolic shapes. Gee, read some stuff please.
We can build one nuclear powerhouse for half the cost that would generate 10 times the energy
Really? Please go ahead and build one. Check CZcams for nuclear plant costs
China tecnology
580hectares and 150mw ? That's a horribly bad ratio.
That’s fake video clips of the actual things. Unsubscribe
No, that's actual footage of the sites... Go look it up
How can you be so ignorant
