Solar panels in Sahara could boost renewable energy

Researchers imagine it might be possible to transform the world''s largest desert, the Sahara, into a giant solar farm, capable of meeting four times the world''s current energy demand.

Western Sahara Resource Watch

At present, there are already two operational solar plants in occupied Western Sahara: The 80 MW "Noor Laayoune I" (near El Aaiún), and the 20 MW "Boujdour I" (near Boujdour). Both were part of the so-called Noor PV I programme, which consisted of the two photo-voltaïc plants in occupied Western Sahara and another in Ouarzazate, in
