Morocco Expands Solar Power: 30 MW Farm Near Tetouan Set to Launch

Soon, the independent energy producer Greenpower Morocco 2 will commission its photovoltaic solar power station developed precisely east of the city of Tetouan, for four years as part of Law 13-09. This solar farm, reports Challenge, has a capacity of 30 MW and is equipped with photovoltaic panels manufactured in Morocco, precisely by the Almaden Morocco Company in El Hoceima.

According to the agreements concluded with the exclusive distributor of water and electricity for the Tangier-Tetouan region, the electricity production by Greenpower Morocco 2 will be dedicated solely to the use of the delegated manager Amendis-Tanger to meet its auxiliary service needs.
