UAE-based AMEA Power has been awarded two solar power plant projects of 36MW each, following an international tender.
The sites are located respectively in Taroudant, in the Souss-Massa region and in El Hajeb, in the Fès-Meknès region of Morocco.
The Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) and the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development announced the award of the projects.
These solar projects were part of a large international tender launched by Masen and the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development in February 2021.
It would help to construct the first phase of the Noor PV II program, a multi-site solar energy program with a total capacity of 330MW.
