Shandong Electric helps build largest solar project in Morocco

RABAT - In the early morning of January, as the snow covering the Atlas Mountains in central Morocco remains unmelted, the Chinese staff of the Noor Concentrated Solar Power or CSP projects in Ouarzazate, a city south of the mountain range, have already started a day's work despite the freezing temperature.

In May 2015, Shandong Electric Power Construction Co Ltd or Sepco-III, a subsidiary of Power Construction Corporation of China, undertook the construction of Noor-II and Noor-III CSP projects in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara Desert.

After more than 1,000 days and nights of hard work, both projects have been put into commercial operation.
