RIYADH: Morocco has awarded six contracts for solar projects in the second quarter of this year, MEED reported. This is part of the North African country’s bid to source up to 52 percent of its energy from renewable sources and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 45.5 percent by 2030. The move constitutes the first set of renewable energy contracts that the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy and Morocco"s Energy Transition & Sustainable Development Ministry have awarded since 2020, the MEED report added. The new contracts also include the first phase of its Noor 2 solar photovoltaic power project. Three companies have won the contracts to develop the six solar photovoltaic schemes, whose capacity ranges between 36 megawatts and 69 megawatts.
