Morocco: Safi wind farm

The Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment is in the process of approving the construction of an eventual 300MW capacity privately financed wind farm at Safi, Casablanca monthly Economie Entreprise reported. The estimated MD3.5bn ($358.6m) wind farm is planned by the Belgian-owned Compagnie Marocaine des Energies (CME), which expects to supply high-voltage industrial clients. Locally registered CME was created by Heverlee-based WindVision in 2012; its other shareholder is Euronext Brussels-listed Compagnie d’Entreprises CFE.
