So then begs the question, what if we cover the entire desert with solar panels? How much energy would we actually be able to produce and how would this change our planet? Let's take a deep dive. For starters, let's begin here. This is the where’s that solar power station in Morocco, the world's largest concentrated solar power plant currently in existence in a marvel of modern engineering. Once fully completed and operational, the plant will take up an area of 25 square kilometers and be capable of producing 582 megawatts of electricity. It will even be capable of storing solar energy in the form of superheated molten salt, which allows for further production of electricity even into the night. After investing more than g billion dollars into their solar energy objective, Morocco aims to create 4 additional plants similar to this one in the Sahara that will collectively create more than 2000 megawatts of electricity production which will be enough to provide for roughly 38% of all of Morocco's annual electricity needs. This project will transform Morocco into the world's leading solar energy state, and as the only African country that currently has power cable linked to Europe, much of this energy will be exported for profit to the countries of the European Union. But all of this energy is created from just five relatively small plants.
