The Noor 2 and 3 CSP projects, which are part of the Ouarzazate solar complex in the southern-central region of the country, will have a combined total capacity of 350MW. Acwa Power had been the lowest bidder for both projects. For the Noor 2 scheme, the Acwa Power team submitted the low tariff price of 16 cents a kilowatt hour (kWh). The consortium led by Spain's Abengoa submitted a tariff price that was 10.5 per cent higher, while the UK/French GDF Suez Energy International (now called Engie) submitted a tariff 24 per cent higher than Acwa Power's price. For the Noor 2 combined tariff, including Noor 3, Acwa Power submitted the lowest tariff, with a price of 15.7 cents a kWh. Abengoa submitted a proposal that was 11.9 per cent higher, while the GDF Suez consortium's tariff was 23.6 per cent higher. Acwa Power is already developing the first phase of the Ouarzazate scheme.
