Desertec concept
Solar electricity production in North Africa
Production for increasing local demand
Later additional transport to Europe
Approx. 600 GW CSP installed until 2050
Equivalent to 250 Andasol plants per year
Requires a substantial contribution of the African countries
The African countries have to be enabled to contribute to the planning, erection and operation of solar thermal power plants

Summary
Solar thermal power plants are a proven technology for solar electricity generation at utility scale.
At present numerous projects are realised world-wide
Solar thermal power plants feature a fair balance between national and international added value
The Desertec concept offers an ambitious vision for the implementation of renewable energies in North-Africa
The realisation of Desertec demands a substantial contribution of the North-African countries
This contribution can only be achieved by an appropriate Capacity Building
