ArabiaWeather.com - On February 3, the "Noor 1" solar power plant in Morocco, which is the largest of its kind in the world, will start operating at a cost of $652 million, to produce 160 megawatts of electricity.

It is noteworthy that the station, which was established in the Moroccan city of Ouarzazate, is the first stage within a program announced by Morocco, which aims to produce electricity in the future with a capacity of 580 megawatts.

Morocco decided to secure 52% of its total electricity needs, using renewable energy sources, by 2030, according to the Arabic "Huffington Post".

Morocco believes that investing in the renewable energy sector will reduce the consequences and costs of the energy bill, on which government spending exceeds 100 billion dirhams ($9.9 billion) annually.
