Tracking the sun

17-02-2010

In the middle of the Egyptian desert, more than 100,000 mirrors are tracking the sun across the sky to capture its energy. This vast site promises to open the door to renewable energy in the region and is an initiative that the European Union is watching closely.

Two EU-funded projects, MED-EMIP and MEDREG, are helping to integrate Euro-Mediterranean energy policies, primarily with a view to moving towards sustainable energy. 

 

This is part of a series of features on projects funded by the EU’s Regional Programme, prepared by journalists and photographers on the ground or by the ENPI Info Centre.
