DII spokesman Alexander Mohanty confirms the project will be developed independently of the Moroccan government’s plan to build 2GW of concentrating solar power (CSP) capacity by 2020.

“We’ve been in close negotiations in recent weeks with Masen [the Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy] and our Moroccan stakeholder Nareva Holdings,” Mohanty tells Recharge. “We’ve come to the decision that Morocco is the ideal location for our test project.”
