Morocco's Renewable Energy Strategy

The video discusses Morocco's transition to renewable energy, focusing on the Ouarzazate Solar Power Plant. Despite lacking fossil fuel reserves, Morocco aims to generate 52% of its electricity from green sources by 2030. The Ouarzazate complex, the world's largest multi-tech solar site, plays a key role. It uses various solar technologies to produce electricity, even at night, reducing energy dependence and contributing to the local economy. Morocco's efforts have been recognized globally, and the country is poised to export green energy.
