Midelt Wind Farm, Morocco
Name of the Project
Midelt Wind Farm.
Location
Morocco.
Client
The project has been awarded to a consortium formed by Enel Green Power and Nareva, following an international tender.
Project Description
The project is part of the 850 MW Projet Éolien Intégré, which includes the Tiskrad, Tanger, Jbel Lahdid and Boujdour wind farms, and entails the construction of the Midelt Wind Farm, with a capacity of 180 MW.
The Midelt facility is expected to produce the same amount of energy required to power a city, with 500 000 inhabitants.
The facility will also prevent the emission of about 400 000 t/y of carbon dioxide. The electricity produced will be sold to Office National de l’Electricité et de l’Eau Potable, or ONEE, under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
Potential Job Creation
From the beginning of the plant’s construction, and throughout its operation, the Midelt Wind Farm is set to contribute to the economic and social development of Morocco, and particularly that of the Midelt region, notably in terms of job creation and use of local services.
Value
The entire Projet Éolien Intégré will cost about €1-billion. The Midelt Wind Farm will cost about €230-million to implement.
Duration
The Midelt Wind Farm is expected to be completed in 24 months.
