Morocco is set to launch its Nassim Koudia El Bayda and Jbel Lahdid wind farms in the <\/strong>first half of 2024<\/strong>, 24Saa<\/a> reported. The Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) completed renovations on the 100 MW Nassim Koudia wind plant located North of the kingdom and finished construction on the 270 MW Jbel Lahdid farm, which together are set to contribute to the country\u2019s goal of 52% renewable energy by 2050. The Nassim Koudia plant has already begun generating green energy that is being fed into the national grid, according to the news outlet. <\/p>\n

About Nassim Koudia plant: <\/strong>Masen partnered with France\u2019s EDF to repower and replace the turbines of the wind farm \u2014 the oldest in Africa \u2014 in 2022, according to Morocco World News<\/a>. The project aimed to double the capacity<\/a> of the farms to 100 MW and was financed by Attijariwafa Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (BERD), amongst others, Masen said in 2022<\/a>. <\/p>\n

About <\/strong>Jbel Lahdid<\/strong> plant: <\/strong>The MAD 2.6 bn (c. USD 267 mn) 270 MW wind farm \u2014 located in the Marrakesh-Safi region \u2014 is part of Morocco\u2019s 850 MW Integrated Wind Project<\/a> developed by Nareva Enel Green Power (NEGP) Morocco at an estimated cost of USD 314 mn, according to Power Technology<\/a>. Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy was selected as the turbine supplier for the plant, which will sell its generated electricity to Masen and Morocco's National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE). Commercial operations were initially set for last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
