Morocco is set to host its largest rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) installation following an agreement between Africa-focused solar developer and impact investor Empower New Energy and manufacturing and logistics firm Saray Immo.
Under the 12-year power purchase agreement (PPA) announced on Wednesday, Empower New Energy will finance, construct, and operate two rooftop solar PV systems with a combined capacity of 5.8 MWp. The installations will cover a total area of 49,000 square meters at Saray Immo’s premises.
With an investment of USD 3.5 million (EUR 3.2 million), the solar arrays are expected to generate approximately 9,600 MWh of electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by around 6,000 tonnes per year.
Empower New Energy will oversee the operations of the solar systems post-commissioning, reinforcing its commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions in Morocco.
