"Ultimately it depends on the Moroccan side and Masen as to whether there's a connection with us and their solar plan," Desertec said.

Under the plan, the North African kingdom, through the Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy, would produce two gigawatts of solar energy by 2020. Four companies were expected to bid to construct the first solar plant.
