All power to Ouarzazate



Anyone who has lived in Morocco for any length of time is familiar with the high cost of electricity. So it's good news that this week an agreement between the French and Moroccan governments has arranged for the construction of 200,000 solar panels in Ouarzazate to supply electricity to homes in the region.

In addition to agreements to co-operate in training, research and industrial development, the Moroccan Minster of Industry, Trade and New Technologies Ahmed Réda Chami and French counterpart Luc Chatel signed an accord in Rabat on Friday regarding the solar panel construction. As Ouarzazate has an abundance of sunshine, it makes perfect sense.
