Eiffage, through its subsidiary Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, has secured a major contract to develop four solar power plants in Morocco under the country’s ambitious NOOR Atlas programme. The initiative is being supervised by MASEN and is aimed at expanding Morocco’s renewable energy capacity while reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels.

The project reflects Morocco’s strong push toward clean energy development by utilizing the country’s high solar irradiation levels throughout the year. The four ground-mounted solar plants will be constructed in the northeastern region of the Kingdom and together will deliver a combined generation capacity of 225 MWp. Among the projects, the largest installation will be the NOOR Ain Beni Mathar solar plant with a planned capacity of 121 MWp. The other three facilities include the NOOR Enjil plant with 42 MWp, the NOOR Boundnib plant with 33 MWp, and the NOOR Bouanane plant with 29 MWp.

Under the turnkey contract, Eiffage Énergie Systèmes will manage the complete execution of the projects. The company’s responsibilities include engineering design, procurement of equipment, civil and electrical construction works, installation, commissioning, and integration of the plants into Morocco’s national electricity grid. In addition to the construction phase, the company will also provide operations and maintenance services for seven years after the completion of the facilities.

Construction activities on the sites officially started in early 2026, and all four solar plants are expected to be commissioned and handed over to MASEN by mid-2027. The development further strengthens Eiffage’s position in the global renewable energy sector, particularly in turnkey solar infrastructure projects. The company has already delivered more than 130 solar installations worldwide and continues to expand its presence in international clean energy markets.

The Morocco solar project also highlights the country’s broader strategy to diversify its energy mix, improve energy security, and support long-term low-carbon economic growth through large-scale renewable energy investments.
