INTEGRATED SOLAR COMBINED CYCLE POWER PROJECT

Abstract*

The main objective of the Integrated Solar Combined Cycle Power Project in Morocco is to add urgently needed capacity to the Moroccan power grid to help cope with the sustained growth in electricity demand, to increase the contribution of renewable energy sources in Morocco's energy mix which would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to contribute to a program of global environmental significance. The project includes the integration of a parabolic...

Development Objective

The global development objective of the project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic sources by increasing the market share of low greenhouse gas emitting technologies. The project will also test the viability of solar thermal technology and contribute to replication of integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) power generation technology in Morocco and elsewhere. It is one of a number of similar projects in the world to be supported by GEF as part of a program to accelerate cost reduction and commercial adoption of large-scale low greenhouse emitting generation technologies. The main global benefits of the project are: (a) contribution to the demonstration o f operational viability of hybrid solar thermal power generation in Morocco; (b) contribution to accelerated market penetration of large-scale backstop power generation technologies; and (c) reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from power generation.
