Desertec, Morocco to partner on green energy

Oct 29, 2012 - Morocco's National Agency for Energy Efficiency and the Development of Renewable Energy (ADEREE) and the Desertec Foundation have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to partner on green energy and energy efficiency.

The partnership envisages exchange of expertise and know-how in developing energy policy and regulation as well as support for ADEREE's communication and public relations strategy, the foundation said in a statement last week.

Morocco aims that installed renewable energy capacity accounts for 42% of its total production capacity by 2020, while reducing total energy use by 12%.

The Desertec Foundation aims to implement globally the Desertec Concept -- a solution to provide climate protection, energy security, water and development by generating sustainable power from sites with abundant renewable sources.
