Desertec aims to generate power in the Sahara using solar- electricity generators and wind turbines and is supported by companies including Siemens, Europe’s largest engineering company, and Munich Re, the world’s biggest reinsurer.

Last month Desertec announced that it was planning a pilot plant in Morocco as a way to test the feasibility of the project. The Moroccan experiment is likely to generate about 1,000 megawatts of electricity when completed.
