4th Dii Desert Energy Conference 2013

The Dii company has organized the 4th Dii Desert Energy Conference 2013 in Rabat, Morocco, from the 30th to the 31st October 2013. Scientific, political, industry and civil society representatives from the whole Mediterranean region attended the Conference. Please check also the programme in pdf.

Dii’s mission is to pave the way for a market for solar and wind power from the deserts for local consumption in North Africa and the Middle East (MENA) and, eventually, for export to Europe. The aim is to reach an energy mix of highest security of delivery, mainly based on lowest cost renewable electricity throughout the interconnected markets in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (EUMENA).

Dii acts as a market and project enabler that builds partnerships throughout this region. As an expert, facilitator and catalyst, the industrial initiative gives guidance on the integration of desert power into the common market e.g. by highlighting the required political, regulatory, financial, (socio-)economic and technological conditions. Dii is not an investor itself, nor will it develop projects itself. Rather it helps the market to recognize and develop feasible projects.
