Morocco: Koudia Al Baida repowering

The Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) has issued a request for proposals (RfP) from contractors for the repowering of the Koudia Al Baida wind farm, which aims to increase capacity at the site to around 120MW from 50MW now. The Koudia Al Baida repowering project involves replacing the 83 existing Vestas V42-600 kW turbines and seven Enercon E40 turbines with new units with a rated power of 3-5MW so as to reach a total capacity of around 120MW while optimising the levelised cost of electricity.
