Morocco is preparing to launch a massive foray into clean energy with its ambitious 1.6 GW BESS projects. The National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) is expected to invite tenders for battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling nearly 1,600MW.
[pdf] Over the next 24 months, the studies will prepare the ground to upgrade two of the plant’s six units to variable-speed turbines, improving operational efficiency, while also designing a hybridisation system to optimise the integration of a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) of up to 80 MW/160 MWh.
[pdf] The 100 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant integrated with a 250 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project will be delivered by U.S.-based Energy America, and its regional subsidiary EA Astrovolt will serve as lead developer and execution partner.
