Desertec Desertec is a proposed large scale solar power project in North Africa by the Desertec Foundation. Under the proposal, concentrating solar powers (not solar cells) would be located on 6,500 square miles (17,000 km2) in the Sahara Desert. Produced electricity would be transmitted to European and African countries by a super grid of high-voltage direct current cables.It would provide continental Europe with 15% of its electricity. It operates under the auspices of the Club of Rome and the Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Cooperation. The project is developed by consortium of German companies led by Munich Re.
