Morocco’s Agriculture Ministry issued a tender for a MAD 2.5 bn (USD 233 mn) wind-powered desalination plant in the Wadi Al Dahab province in the far south of the country, according to a ministry statement on Friday. The project is part of a wider desert reclamation project that would help irrigate 5.2k hectares of land. The plant is expected to have an annual capacity of 30 mn cubic meters of water per year, and is hoped would produce around 415k tons per annum of produce.
