In Morocco, the world’s largest concentrated solar power plant is about to come online with  500-megawatt capacity, providing power to 1.5 million people.

In Kenya, a 400-megawatt geothermal plant is set to supply power to 84 percent of the country’s residents currently without access to electricity.
