AMEA Power, a Dubai-clean power producer, and its partner GPM Holding have commenced the construction of a 34 MW solar plant in Morocco.
The photovoltaic (PV) park, worth USD 37 million, is financed by major local commercial bank Attijariwafa. The solar project is the first of AMEA Power in the country and is located in Tangier, the northwestern part of Morocco. The developer for the project is GreenPower Morocco 1, a project company owned by the Dubai-based power producer and GPM Holding.
Upon the commencement of operation, the park is projected to have an annual power output of 66,149 MWh, which is enough to meet the energy needs of more than 19,200 homes per year.
The power from the PV farm will be delivered to local drinking water and electricity distributor Amendis, a subsidiary of Veolia Morocco, under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
The PV scheme was developed under the Moroccan 13-09 framework, in which a PPA is signed with a well-established local commercial and industrial (C&I) player. It is one of two solar projects with a combined output of 72 MW that AMEA Power won earlier this year in a tender launched by the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) and the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development.
