What to explore and benefit from the event？

Thanks to the dispatchable power produced by CSP, more countries in MENA region are consider-

ing to place solar thermal technology in their future energy system.

Morocco government is accelera�ng its renewable energy ambi�ons. Currently, the world’s

biggest NOOR Ouarzazate Solar Complex has witnessed the rapid development of CSP in this coun-

try. A�er the opera�onal NOORo I 160 MW PT plant, 200 MW PT plant NOORo II and 150 MW Solar

Tower plant NOORo III are close to comple�on this year. Besides, NOOR Midelt, a hybrid solar PV

and CSP complex is under development, saying at least 150 MW CSP will be deployed for each

plant.

In past years, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) planned to reach 1,000 MW solar projects

in Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park by 2020. Besides its PV strategy, the first phase 700

MW CSP plant (100 MW Tower, 3*200 MW PT) shocked the industry by USD 7.3 Cents/kWh, o�ered by

ACWA & Shanghai Electric consor�um. The project is under prepara�on and is said to meet financial

close by April of 2018. Abu Dhabi, neighbor of Dubai, has also shown CSP’s availability in 2013 by Shams

One project---the first commercial CSP plant in MENA region.

Saudi Arabia REPDO (Renewable Energy Project Development O�ce) is established to deliver

renewable energy across the Kingdom in line with Vision 2030; Kuwait is construc�ng 50 MW

Shagaya CSP plant to accelerate its renewable target. Oman has successfully launched the world’s

largest CSP EOR project, indica�ng another poten�al market in MENA region. Other countries like

Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Libya, and Tunisia…are showing their posi�ve a�tude towards CSP and other

sustainable energy.
