It's bizarre than one of the largest (often said to be the biggest) photovoltaic complex in the world is not even listed: Nour 1, 2 and 3 in Ouarzazate, Morocco.

Because they are probably separate entities. It happens the same in Spain in the 2008-2012 timeframe, where you had several solar power plants physically together each one of 50MW because of fiscal reasons (better rate if plants weren’t higher than 50MW). So I personally know several plants that were actually 100MW, 150MW and 250MW together.

In the case of Morocco it’s because (probably) they have different financial structure.

The entire Nour Complex is 500MW and was commissioned in steps from 2016 to 2018, so it was never on this list in the first place (since it only counts the currently biggest plant)
