World's largest concentrated solar farm in Morocco
2013 CE • Morocco
"Morocco is home to the world's largest concentrated solar farm. Built on an area of more than 3,000 hectares in area – the size of 3,500 football fields – the Noor-Ouarzazate complex, produces enough electricity to power a city the size of Prague, or twice the size of Marrakesh. Situated at the gateway to the Sahara Desert, the whole complex provides 580 megawatts – saving the planet from over 760,000 tonnes of carbon emissions . . . 35% of [Morocco's] energy is already renewable thanks to sites such as Noor Ouarzazate."
