French company to build solar plants in Sudan
March 19, 2010 (PARIS) – Solar Euromed, a French solar power company said on Friday it signed a ten billion USD contract with the Sudanese Ministry of Energy and Mining to design, build and manage solar power plants over a 10-year period.
“Both projects will contribute to the stabilization and the development of the Sudanese population,” the company said.
The solar power, which is seen as environmentally-friendly solution to produce a renewable energy, is using the Sun, structures made out of metal and glass, and greenhouse gas emission-free.
Solar Euromed, located in the Corsica island in France, employs 20 and posts a revenue of some EUR 3 million annually.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) considers this technology will experience a very steep growth in the coming years to reach up to 11% of the world total electricity installed capacity by 2050.

Electrically speaking, a desert is a gift. Having a desert is having a resource even if it does not have any mineral. Producing electricity from a desert is easy and clean and does not have any of the complications that it may have when producing it from neuclear materials: political and environmental.

What happened to the sanctions from western countries? or it is now time for money making and no one cares about sanctions anymore since the economic crisis that decended on western world.
The money from this project goes directly to Sudan army to buy weapons to kill more people in Darfur, France is funding genocide indirectly.

this is a good project, envirment friendly project.
but the question is, who will be the benficiery of this project?
secondly since the independent of sudan only the northerners (i mean the jalaba) are people who benfit from all the resources of the country, and the other regions of the country left with nothing, they excluded the marginalized areas and not recognized even with the national resource.
this new project must supply power to all marginalized areas, otherwise……..AK45 will resume action.
