Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power has successfully won the Noor Midelt II and Noor Midelt III photovoltaic+energy storage projects in Morocco. These two projects are located near the northern Moroccan town of Midelt, with a photovoltaic installed capacity of 400MW and both equipped with 602MWh of battery energy storage.

The project will be developed using BOO mode, with ACWA Power fully responsible for the design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the project. Meanwhile, the Moroccan Sustainable Energy Agency (MASEN), as the electricity repurchaser, signed a 30-year power purchase agreement with ACWA Power.

After the completion of the project, it will provide stable and clean electricity for the local area in Morocco. The two projects have a total installed capacity of 800MW of photovoltaic power, combined with 1204MWh of battery energy storage, which can effectively alleviate the local electricity supply and demand contradiction and improve the stability and reliability of energy supply. Plays an important role in promoting Morocco's energy structure towards green and low-carbon transformation, reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels, and helping it achieve sustainable development goals. In addition, the long-term power purchase agreement also provides a guarantee for the stable operation of the project. Through continuous operation and maintenance, ACWA Power will ensure that the project continues to generate benefits within 30 years, while also creating certain employment opportunities for the local area, promoting the development of related industries, and deepening cooperation and exchanges between Saudi Arabia and Morocco in the energy field.
