Morocco Launches Pilot Project for Floating Solar Panels to Save Water and Generate Power

Morocco has launched a pilot project to slow water evaporation and generate green energy using floating solar panels. The technology is being tested at a reservoir near Tangier, with plans to power the neighboring Tanger Med port complex. Authorities hope the project could have wider implications for the kingdom, which has struggled with its worst drought in decades. The project is expected to reduce water evaporation by 30% and generate 13 megawatts of electricity.
