OCP Green Energy, a subsidiary of the OCP Group, has activated the first phase of its energy investment program with the entry into operation of 3 solar plants totaling 202 megawatt peak (MWp)<\/strong>. They are located in Benguerir (67 MWp), Foum Tizi (30 MWp) and Oulad Far\u00e8s (105 MWp)<\/strong>, the latter considered the largest photovoltaic plant in operation in Morocco<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The new plants are already supplying electricity to several mining operations. mining and industrial operations<\/a><\/strong> and industrial operations, including the production of customized fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n

Clean energy for mines and fertilizers<\/h2>\n\n

The electricity generated covers a substantial part of the energy consumption in OCP’s mines and factories<\/strong>, allowing it to stabilize costs and make progress on its environmental commitments. The estimated cost of electricity production<\/a><\/strong> is around 368 MAD\/MWh<\/strong>, a competitive figure. <\/p>\n\n

In addition to supplying the mines, energy is also directed to infrastructure such as desalination plants operated by OCP Green Water<\/strong> and strategic business units such as SBU Manufacturing<\/strong> and SPS (Specialized Products and Solutions).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

First LFP battery system in Morocco<\/h2>\n\n

In parallel, OCP Green Energy has started the execution of the first phase of its battery energy storage system (BESS). battery energy storage system (BESS)<\/a><\/strong>which will have a capacity of 25 MW\/125 MWh<\/strong> and an autonomy of 5 hours by 2026. It will enable the storage of solar energy<\/a><\/strong> during the day to be used during peak demand hours<\/strong>, reducing intermittency and improving grid stability. <\/p>\n\n

Institutional support and international financing<\/h2>\n\n

The development of these infrastructures was authorized by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development<\/strong>, and complies with the current legal framework for self-production, under the supervision of ANRE<\/strong>. The connection agreements signed with ONEE<\/strong> allow the transmission of electricity generated to different industrial centers of the group. <\/p>\n\n

The project received a financial boost with the injection of 100 million euros<\/strong> from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), backed by the World Bank Group. In addition to this investment, the German KfW<\/strong> and contributions from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF)<\/strong>, in collaboration with the African Development Bank, are specifically supporting the development of the storage system. <\/p>\n\n

On course for 1.2 GW in 2027<\/h2>\n\n

With the first phase already in operation, OCP Green Energy reaffirms its goal of reaching 1.2 GW of renewable capacity by 2027<\/strong> and exceeding 2 GW in the following years<\/strong>, including more than 2 GWh of storage capacity.<\/p>\n\n

This development is part of the OCP Group’s energy transition strategy<\/strong>, which aims to cover 100 % of its industrial electricity needs with renewable sources<\/a><\/strong> sources by 2027 and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
