"The plan is to export electricity from Tunisia to Central Italy through a high voltage DC submarine cable"

Kevin Sara & Nashwa Satti, Nur Energie, talk concentrated solar power in Africa

Kevin Sara, founder of multi-region solar development company Nur Energie, and Nashwa Satti, project manager at Nur, talk about their work with CSP, or concentrated solar power, as opposed to the more common PV, or photovoltaic solar power.
They explain: how CSP works and its advantages over PV; their €10bn solar project to export power from Tunisia to Italy via a 600km undersea cable; the potential for expansion in sub-Saharan Africa and into rural ‘off-grid’ areas; the financing of the business; and the benefits of power plants than can be assembled locally.
