In a historic step toward a cleaner and more sustainable future, Morocco has launched the world's largest solar battery storage facility in the city of Ouarzazate.
Morocco is planning to invite bids for a giant power storage facility with a capacity of nearly 1,600 megawatts (MW) within a long-term programme to expand renewable energyMorocco is planning to invite bids for a giant power storage facility with a capacity of nearly 1,600 megawatts (MW) within a long-term programme to expand renewable energy.
Morocco plans to shift from a mainly fossil fuel-dependent energy system to one where 42% of demand is met by renewable sources. The project supports Morocco's first mid-size, grid-connected decentralized solar photovoltaic plants.
In this regard, the country is emerging as a future regional hub for lithium and electric batteries, thanks to its agreements with the South Korean giant and world leader in energy storage solutions, LG Energy Solution, and with the Chinese lithium specialist Yahua.
