The Khalladi wind farm in Morocco has begun supplying power to the national grid. ACWA Power, the developer of this project, said the first turbines have already come online and that over the next four months the entire fleet will be up and running.
The infrastructure consists of 40 turbines with a capacity of 3 MW each.
The park, located in JbelSendouq, will provide the equivalent of the consumption of 400,000 people to industrial energy consumers. Its implementation cost $170 million.
The funds needed for the construction of the infrastructure were mobilized, via a long-term loan obtained mainly from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, in collaboration with the Clean Technology Fund (CTF), and BMCE Bank Group of Africa.
