PAVING THE WAY FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN SOLAR PLAN (MSP)

It is a number of services that the European Commission outsourced, through a call for application EuropeAid/129020/C/SER/MULTI, to a consortium of sector operators, including ENEA, with the aim of contributing to developing an integrated Euro-Mediterranean green electricity from renewables to meet the electricity demand of the southern Mediterranean countries and encourage the export of part of the electricity so produced to the European countries.

The general aim is to install a new 20 GW capacity of electricity generation from renewables by 2020 in the Mediterranean Basin.
