On Thursday, at the foot of the Sahara Desert, the future of solar energy made its grand debut.
That afternoon, Morocco’s King Mohammed VI fired up Noor 1, the first section of the country’s massive, groundbreaking solar power plant. Expected to cover an area of roughly 6,000 acres by 2018, the solar plant is set to become the biggest in the world once finished. It will eventually provide enough power for about 1.1 million people, according to the Guardian.
Situated near Ouarzazate, a region famous for its film industry, the plant’s first section contains around 800 rows of panels — good for about 500,000 solar mirrors to drink up sunlight. Despite its vastness, Noor 1 will only provide about 160 megawatts of the plant’s total 580 megawatt capacity.
