Located in the southern city of Ouarzazate, the more-than-6,000-acre facility is a stunning display of Morocco's renewable energy ambitions. Noor is the first CSP site in Morocco, and its 580-megawatt output is accelerating the country's bid for a 52% renewable energy mix. . The Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex project in Morocco stands as a blueprint for sustainable innovation and alternative energy resources internationally. Set against the arid backdrop of the Sahara's gateway, this solar giant does more than generate energy, but is building a model for clean. . Ouarzazate Solar Power Station (OSPS), also called Noor Power Station (نور, Arabic for light) is a solar power complex and auxiliary diesel fuel system located in the Drâa-Tafilalet region in Morocco, 10 kilometres (6. 2 mi) from Ouarzazate town, in Ghessat rural council area. Noor is the first CSP site in Morocco, and. . How colocated PV and CSP would store solar energy in the molten salts thermal energy storage of a CSP plant. Illustration @DLR/Bauer (ADAPTED): from Experimental and Numerical Investigation of a 4 MWh High Temperature Molten Salt Thermocline Storage System with Filler Morocco's 800 MW solar hybrid. . The primary aim of the plan was to generate 2,000 MW (or 2 GW) of solar power by the year 2020 by building mega-scale solar power projects at five location — Laayoune (Sahara), Boujdour (Western Sahara), Tarfaya (south of Agadir), Ain Beni Mathar (center) and Ouarzazate — with modern solar thermal. .
