GE Renewable Energy has announced that it has been selected by Energie Eolienne du Maroc (EEM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nareva Holding, to supply 40 onshore wind turbines for the 200MW Aftissat onshore wind farm extension in Morocco.
EEM will operate the Cypress turbines at 5.0MW, with a rotor diameter of 158 metres. GE's scope of work also includes a 20-year full-service contract. The project is expected to start operations in 2023 and is intended to support industrial companies under power purchase agreements, in line with Morocco’s goal to install 52% of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
