6 FAQs about [Western Sahara energy saving in industry]
Is Morocco dependent on Western Sahara for its energy supply?
But these developments have made Morocco partly dependent on Western Sahara for its energy supply. Morocco already gets 18% of its installed wind capacity and 15% of its solar from the occupied territory, and by 2030 that could increase to almost half of its wind and up to a third of its solar.
How many wind farms are there in the Western Sahara?
The projects were presented in 2012, including building three wind farms in Morocco and two in the occupied “southern provinces”. There are two sites in development in the Western Sahara: a 100 MW near Boujdour and a 300 MW in Tiskrad—near the territory’s capital, El Aaiun.
Will the EU import energy from the Western Sahara?
Due to the status of the Western Sahara, the EU has said that it would not import energy from the territory. It is separate from Morocco under international law, and no country officially recognises the occupation as legitimate—though some do in practice.
What is Morocco doing in Western Sahara?
Morocco continues its policy of using resource extraction, energy production and trade relations to build 'soft power' and legitimacy for its rule in Western Sahara , with tacit support from Europe and America (Mundy, 2022; Allan & Ojeda-Garcia, 2021). This has included deals with the EU over fishing and agriculture and, more recently, energy.
Could Morocco build a solar farm in the Sahara Desert?
The Moroccan monarchy is now betting big on renewables, given the potential for wind and solar. The idea of building solar farms across the Sahara Desert is not novel. In Morocco proper, the Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex will be the largest concentrated solar plant in the world.
Is the annexation of the Western Sahara illegal?
The annexation took place between 1976 and 1979 and is considered illegal under international law.
