Some of the largest deserts in North Africa have the potential to offer huge opportunities for capturing mass amount of solar energy. However, solar power remains underutilized in the region despite the clear potential for a sustainable energy source. . IRENA (2023), Planning and prospects for renewable power: North Africa, International Renewable Energy Agency, Abu Dhabi. This report was drafted by Sebastian Hendrik Sterl, Pablo Carvajal, Pauline Fulcheri and Mohamed A. Eltahir Elabbas under the guidance of Asami Miketa (IRENA) and Dolf Gielen. . While hydropower dam facilities can generate electricity day and night, solar and wind power require stationary battery storage systems to compensate for intermittency. Wind farms in particular face times when no wind means that the turbines do not spin, which generates no power, making it more. . The solar power potential in North Africa is immense.
