Qair has secured key authorisations for two wind and solar projects in Morocco with a total capacity of 178MW.
The Tetouan wind farm, expected to be operational in 2029, will generate 390GWh annually, while the Tiznit solar project, to be commissioned in late 2027, will produce 115GWh per year.
Both projects were approved by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development under Law 13-09, a key pillar of Morocco’s strategy to open its renewable sector to private investment.
Qair said the recent introduction of a tariff framework for medium-voltage grid access marks a turning point, creating a more transparent and predictable environment for industrial off-take of renewable power.
“Morocco’s regulatory clarity and ambitious energy vision are opening real opportunities for independent power producers like Qair to deliver long-term value,” said Qair Maroc managing director Wahba Zniber.
“With these large-scale authorisations, we are entering a new chapter – building on a decade of experience in self-consumption and now scaling to serve broader industrial needs.”
The Tetouan and Tiznit projects will help avoid over 334,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
Beyond Morocco, Qair is advancing its renewable energy initiatives across the African continent.
In Tunisia, the company has secured agreements for two major solar photovoltaic projects totaling 298MW in El Khobna and Gafsa.
These projects are expected to generate approximately 1,000 GWh of electricity annually.
Meanwhile in Mauritius, the group is preparing to commence construction on a 100MWp solar photovoltaic project with 256MWh of energy storage.
