Ouarzazate Solar Power Station (OSPS), also called Noor Power Station (نور, for ) is a solar power complex and auxiliary diesel fuel system located in the region in , 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from town, in Ghessat rural council area. At 510 MW, it is the world's largest (CSP) plant. With an additional 72 MW Laboratory of Renewable Energies and Advanced Materials (LERMA), College of Engineering and Architecture, International University of Rabat (IUR), Campus, Technopolis Park, Rocade Rabat-Salé, Sala Al Jadida 11103, Morocco [pdf]
Researchers in Morocco are studying ways to use solar and wind energy for a faster transition to a green economy. This documentary tells the story of Morocco's quest to produce clean, renewable energy. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.
With a favorable environment for climate-friendly investment, Morocco will likely soon become a center for green industrial energy production. This comes following decades of high energy dependence on external energy sources, which even in 2022 accounted for 90 percent of Morocco’s energy needs.
Morocco’s strategic initiative to replace coal power plants with natural gas combined-cycle power plants emerges as a potential solution to enhance power system resilience against water stress. The national plan aims to install an additional 2,400 MW of natural gas power plant capacity by 2030 and completely phase out coal-fired plants by 2050.
Production of energy from renewables lagged behind a little, at closer to 20% of the country's total in 2019. But the country has come a long way. Morocco has since pledged to increase the renewables in its electricity mix to 52% by 2030, made up of 20% solar, 20% wind and 12% hydro.
Yet Morocco has exceptional resources of wind and solar energy on land, and there is as much, if not more potential for the development of off-shore wind energy. Investing in this potential will place Morocco among the ranks of the largest clean energy-producing countries.

The Adétikopé Solar Power Station is a planned 390 MW (520,000 hp) plant in , with 200 MWh (720 GJ), attached battery energy storage. The power station is in the development stage, under concessional terms by the company Arise Integrated Industrial Platforms (Arise IIP), a subsidiary of the (AFC), in partnership with the Government of Togo. As of July 2021 a qualified EPC company was being sought to construct the power station, eithe. [pdf]
The solar power plant is located in Blitta, a division in the Central Region. With a capacity of 50 MWp, the Mohamed Bin Zayed plant becomes the largest utility-scale solar park in Togo, and indeed in the West African sub-region. The new facility, which supplies clean energy to Togo’s national grid, increases the country’s energy autonomy.
The power station was developed by Amea Power, an independent power producer (IPP), based in the United Arab Emirates. The solar farm, which is the largest grid-ready in Togo, is also referred to as Mohamed Bin Zayed Power Station, named after His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.
H.E. Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADFD, said: “This new Togo solar power plant truly reflects the level of sustainable impact we can achieve through the ADFD and IRENA renewable energy development program.
The solar farm, which is the largest grid-ready in Togo, is also referred to as Mohamed Bin Zayed Power Station, named after His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. The power station began commercial operations in June 2021.
The solar park will be operated and maintained by Amea Togo Solar, the local subsidiary of Amea Power, the UAE-based IPP that owns the power station. It is expected that the power station will provide electricity to 600,000 homes and 700 small and medium-sized enterprises, in Togo.
The power station is located in the settlement of Blitta, in the Centrale Region of Togo, approximately 83.5 kilometres (51.9 mi), by road, south of Sokodé, the regional capital. This is approximately 267 kilometres (166 mi) by road north of Lomé, the national capital and largest city in the country.
