Together, the reflectors move to track the sun and focus energy onto a synthetic oil that travels through a system of pipelines. A turbine-driven generator is powered by high-pressure water vapor that is created at temperatures up to 350 degrees Celsius. Reservoirs hold some of the energy from the day, allowing for the continuation of production for up to three hours after nightfall.

It is the only country in Africa with a power cable connection to Europe, and it uses it to export extra power to Germany and its neighbors. Its carbon emissions are consistent with the Paris Agenda’s aim to keep global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees Celsius…S££ MOR£••
