FRANKFURT/MUNICH (Reuters) - Desertec, which aims to bring power to Europe from huge solar and wind projects in Africa and the Middle East, should set up pilot schemes globally to prove the plan's feasibility faster, one of its shareholders said.
"Ideally, we would like to see 5-10 Desertec pilot projects worldwide," Thiemo Gropp, director of the Desertec Foundation, one of the shareholders of the Desertec Industrial Initiative (DII), told Reuters on Tuesday.
