The 8 GW production project will be underpinned by 10 GW of wind and 7 GW of solar power. Earlier this month, Western Sahara Resource Watch (WSRW) reported that the Moroccan government had announced a string of renewable projects in occupied Western Sahara in its 2024 Finance Bill, including what was described as the Falcon project to which the
Ain Beni Mathar, Morocco Solar Thermal Power Station Project
The Kingdom of Morocco is preparing a major solar power project on five sites — Laayoune (Sahara), Boujdour (Western Sahara), Tarfaya (south of Agadir), Ain Beni Mathar (center) and Ouarzazate — with state of the art solar facilities composed of photovoltaic and solar thermal energy mecha-nisms.
Large-scale photovoltaic solar farms in the Sahara affect
stability of electricity supply of a solar power system6. In practice, the changes of solar system energy output are taken into account by grid operators in order to schedule the spinning reserve capacity and to manage the grid operations7. As the solar industry grows, solar power generation is becoming increasingly weather-dependent8. Some

Morocco is also eager to tap into Western Sahara''s solar potential. The operational solar capacity in the territory is today still relatively modest, consisting of two photovoltaic solar plants with a combined capacity of 100 MW that are up and running. The 80 MW El Aaiún site and the 20 MW Boujdour site were developed under the header of

The Sahara: a solar battery for Europe?
The Great Saharan Desert is more than 3.6 million square miles of dry, hot land, 1.2% of which could power the whole world, theoretically, if it were to be covered in solar PV. But the Sahara''s solar potential is yet to be realised, with only the Noor project in Morocco currently operating in the area.

6 FAQs about [Integrated solar system Western Sahara]
Could the Sahara be transformed into a solar farm?
In fact, around the world are all located in deserts or dry regions. it might be possible to transform the world’s largest desert, the Sahara, into a giant solar farm, capable of meeting the world’s current energy demand. Blueprints have been drawn up for projects in and that would supply electricity for millions of households in Europe.
Could large solar farms in the Sahara Desert redistribute solar power?
Large solar farms in the Sahara Desert could redistribute solar power generation potential locally as well as globally through disturbance of large-scale atmospheric teleconnections, according to simulations with an Earth system model.
Can large-scale solar farms influence atmospheric circulation in the Sahara Desert?
Our Earth system model simulations show that the envisioned large-scale solar farms in the Sahara Desert, if covering 20% or more of the area, can significantly influence atmospheric circulation and further induce cloud fraction and RSDS changes (summarized in Fig. 7) across other regions and seasons.
Could teleconnections affect solar farms in the Sahara Desert?
Large-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However, adverse remote effects resulting from atmospheric teleconnections could offset such regional benefits.
Can solar power be harnessed in the Sahara?
For perspective, the sun delivers an mind-blowing 173,000 terawatts (TW) of solar energy to Earth continuously, more than 10,000 times the world’s current energy consumption. A study published in the journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews explores the feasibility of harnessing solar power from the Sahara.
Can solar energy be used over the Sahara Desert?
Harvesting the globally available solar energy (or even just that over the Sahara) could theoretically meet all humanity's energy needs today (Hu et al., 2016; Li et al., 2018). Large-scale deployment of solar facilities over the world's deserts has been advanced as a feasible option (Komoto et al., 2015).
