Morocco pioneering offshore wind energy in Africa --[Reported by Umva mag]

This ambitious project is a cornerstone of the nation’s goal to generate 52% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2050.

Located off the coast of Essaouira, the wind farm will harness the region’s strong winds and shallow waters to produce at least six gigawatts of clean energy. The Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN) is spearheading the project in collaboration with the European Investment Bank (EIB).

The EIB has provided a €2 million grant to fund a feasibility study, which will assess the project’s technical and economic viability. This crucial step will pave the way for potential pilot projects and the development of a thriving offshore wind industry in Morocco.

By leading the way in offshore wind technology, Morocco aims to inspire other African nations to adopt clean energy solutions and combat climate change.
