Morocco’s first solar power plant is being built near the desert gateway city of Ouarzazate. Ouarzazate is an environmentally sustainable city with energy, recycling, land reclamation and water saving resources. It’s also about micro-irrigation, waste water reuse, lighting with solar. It’s a smart city.
