Ayesa delivers technical advisory services for PV projects in Morocco

Morocco has historically depended on fossil fuels, importing all of its oil. This reliance has prompted the country to adopt a renewable energy strategy that leverages its advantageous location and climate. Morocco aims to achieve 52% of its installed power from renewable sources by 2030, tapping into the vast potential for sustainable energy in the region.  As part of its rapid transition to green energy, Morocco is embarking on a megaproject to develop solar power stations across the country. The goal is to create the largest solar complex in the world, boasting a capacity of 582 MW. This ambitious initiative includes the following sites: Noor Ouarzazate I (160 MW), Noor II (200 MW), Noor III (150 MW), and Noor Ouarzazate IV (100 MW).

The contract has appointed Ayesa to provide technical advisory services for three solar power stations: Noor IV in Laayoune (80 MW), Ouarzazate (70 MWp), and Boujdour (20 MWp). Ayesa will conduct technical due diligence on tenders and designs submitted by bidders, as well as provide construction monitoring services.

In the initial phase, Ayesa will focus on technical due diligence for the tenders, producing preliminary evaluation reports and a detailed risk matrix. After the contract is awarded, the company will continue to offer support throughout the project. In the final phase, Ayesa will provide construction supervision services to ensure quality and compliance with project standards.

The construction of the Noor Ouarzazate solar power complex underscores Morocco’s commitment to international agreements aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This project plays a vital role in the country’s ambition to generate 52% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.

Additionally, the solar complex will support Morocco’s efforts to leverage its natural resources while promoting environmental protection, sustainable economic growth, and social development. Ultimately, this initiative aims to create a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.
