Second Biennial Updated Report of Morocco in Status [Idea, planning phase, in progress, in operation] In operation Implementing institution  Duration MASEN Sector and sub-sector Min. 25 years Title of the mitigation measure Centralesolaire CSP (Concentrating Solar Power): Noor Ouarzazatel Objective of the mitigation measure This is the project to build a solar thermal power plant (CSP) with cylindro-parabolic mirrors, d a capacity of 160 MW over an area of 480 ha with a thermal storage capacity of 3 hours thanks to molten salt, which will be operated according to an independent power production (IPP) scheme. This plant is part of the national energy strategy which aims to increase, by 2030, the share of renewable energies in order to reach 52% of the country&#39;s total electricity production capacity. The project will make it possible to: Range of action [national, regional, city] National Energy/ electricity reduce the Kingdom&#39;s energy dependence and strengthen its electricity production capacity; reduce the negative impact of fossil fuel imports on the state budget and on the Kingdom&#39;s trade balance; a national resource: Morocco benefits from an exceptional level of sunshine; control promote the creation of a new solar sector in Morocco; reduce greenhouse gas emissions: the plant will prevent the emission of approximately 280,000 tonnes of CO per year. Activities planned as part of the mitigation measure Total cost (Million MAD) 7,100 Integrated development of a renewable energy installation to the best international standards. Contribution to the emergence of national expertise in the field of renewable energies. Incentive for the territorial development of the area of implantation according to a sustainable model involving the economic, the human and the environmental. Assumptions adopted GHG avoided (T CO/year) 280,000 The forecast value of the average annual production is based on the accumulation of all the losses generated by factors internal and external to the installation, itun 72% jalo do la com
