Emirati firm to build solar power plants in Morocco
Morocco is heavily dependent on imports for its energy needs, and is working to increase its use of renewable sources.
An Emirati renewable energy company will soon build two solar power facilities in Morocco.
The Dubai-based AMEA Power said yesterday they have been awarded the rights to build two solar plants in Morocco. Each plant will produce 36 megawatts of power, AMEA Power said in a press release.
“We look forward to supporting the country in … diversifying its energy mix,” said chairman Hussain Al Nowais.
One plant will be located in Taroudant, east of the coastal city Agadir, while the other will be in El Hajeb, south of the central city Fes, the official Emirates News Agency reported today.
