Siemens to provide turbines for Morocco's solar project

RABAT, June 16, 2016

Siemens, a globally operating technology company, has agreed to provide three steam turbines for the Noor II and III solar power plants in Morocco by the end of 2016, said a report.

The Noor Solar Complex in Ouarzazate will be the largest solar complex in the world once it is completed, added the Morocco World News report.

The first phase, Noor I, was completed in February and currently provides 650,000 locals with electricity for the majority of the day, it said.

Currently, Morocco has entered the second phase of the project: creating the Noor II and Noor III plants. Siemens, which provided the turbine for Noor I, will deliver three turbines from Germany to the Ouarzazate plants by the end of 2016.

The Noor II and III turbines will produce electricity using concentrated solar power (CSP), the process of using solar-generated steam to generate electricity, and will have power capacities of 150 megawatts (MW) and 200 MW, respectively.

The Noor solar complex will include one installation of solar panels (Noor IV) and the three solar plants (Noor I, II, and III) using CSP, added the report.
