Acwa Power president Mohammed Abunayyad announced the win at a press conference on Thursday, November 10. “We will sign principal conventions with MASEN next week,” he declared.
Noor Ouarzazate’s fourth phase will consist in the development of photovoltaic technology that should have a capacity of 135 MW and will cost approximately 2.2 billion DH, reports Medias24.
