The Noor Laâyoune Solar Complex, part of Morocco's ambitious Noor solar program, is expanding in 2025 to increase its capacity. This project aligns with Morocco's goal to generate 52% of its energy from renewables by 2030. The complex uses concentrated solar power (CSP) technology, harnessing the Sahara's abundant sunlight to produce clean energy.
According to a post on X by @Moroccoprojects, construction began in early 2025, and the project is already generating buzz for its potential to create jobs and attract international talent. Experts predict that the technopole could position Laâyoune as a leader in green technology, with research focused on desert agriculture and solar energy.
Let's dive into the major projects transforming Laâyoune, each a testament to the city's rising prominence. These initiatives span education, transportation, renewable energy, and urban development, reflecting a holistic approach to progress.
One of the most ambitious projects in Laâyoune is the construction of the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) campus as part of the Foum El Oued Technopole. Launched in 2025, this 600-hectare development, with an investment of nearly 2 billion dirhams, is a game-changer for education and innovation in the region.
