A new step has been taken for the development of renewable energies in the Southern provinces. The Bir Anzaran wind farm project, planned in the Dakhla region, has finalized its financial setup, paving the way for the start of its implementation.
Led by the Moroccan Wind Energy Company (EEM), a subsidiary of the Nareva group, this 200 MW farm is now entering its operational phase. The announcement marks a decisive turning point for this strategic infrastructure, which is part of the integrated program of the ONEE (National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water), aimed at increasing the share of clean energies in the national energy mix.
The financing of this large-scale project relies on a partnership between several Moroccan financial institutions, including the Attijariwafa bank group, Bank of Africa, and the Central Popular Bank. The financing contract was signed on April 18 in Casablanca, in the presence of representatives from Nareva and the partner banks.
With an estimated production capacity of 900 GWh per year, the Bir Anzaran farm is expected to supply electricity to more than 700,000 residents while avoiding the emission of nearly 800,000 tons of CO₂ each year. This is a significant advancement in Morocco’s energy transition, which aims to increase the share of renewable energies in its installed capacity to 52% by 2030.
