HIGH SOLAR RESOURCES AND WATER SCARCITY

Water scarcity

• Mobilized water in 2013 in Morocco 650 m3

per capita (minimum required more than

1000 m3 par capita)

• Lower water availability in potential solar

sites

High solar irradiation all over the Kingdom

• GHI between 1 800 and 2300 kWh/y

• DNI higher than 2 300 kWh/y in dozens of

sites and more than 2 600 kWh/y in some

suitable sites

SEVERAL CHALLENGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR ENERGY

5

Several challenges during the development of large-scale solar projects across the World :

Sector in transition, for which some technologies have not yet reached their maturity phase

Multidimensional projects involving many stakeholders

Complex projects requiring high-level expertise (Technical, Legal, Financial, Institutional …)

Cost of electricity generated higher than that generated by fossil fuels

Projects requiring significant investment in a very short time period

Performance depending on the availability of land with favorable weather conditions and required

infrastructures

Many challenges requiring a strong mobilization of several actors

6

Establishment of a Moroccan Solar Atlas and different studies upstream to select sites with the suitable characteristics for the development of solar projects

MOROCCAN SOLAR ATLAS AND PRELIMINARY STUDIES TO SELECT THE MOST SUITABLE SITES

Studies: – Topography , – Seismicity, – Geotechnical, – Hydrological, – Environmental impact …

Onsite measurements to assess solar resources and meteorological data

Qualification studies2

Implementation of the Moroccan Solar Atlas1

Identification of a suitable site portfolio

Mapping of solar resources

Identification of areas with solar potential using exclusion and selection criteria (High irradiation, adequate land, nearby common infrastructures…)

Identification of sites to be qualified refining the exclusion and selection criteria

Organization of field visits taking into accounts local data

Process to identify and select suitable sites

Selection of sites to be developed
