The solar plants will be built in the mining towns of Benguerir and Khouribga, home to Morocco’s biggest phosphate reserves.
Project Owner/s
OCP Group, the world’s biggest phosphate-based fer tiliser producer, through its wholly owned subsidiary OCP Green Energy.
Project Description
The project is part of OCP’s $13-billion Green Investment Programme, which aims to increase OCP’s green fertiliser production and transition its operations to green energy by 2030.
