OCP Green Energy and Jet Energy Launch First 202 MWc Solar Phase – Morocco’s Biggest PV Plant Now Operational
OCP Green Energy, the renewable‑energy arm of Morocco’s phosphate giant OCP, has officially commissioned the first 202 MWc phase of its solar‑investment programme. Partnered with Jet Energy, the new capacity spreads across three strategic sites – Benguerir, Foum Tizi and Oulad Farès – with the latter hosting the country’s largest operating PV plant at 105 MWc. The roughly 1.8 billion‑dirham investment was largely carried out by the Moroccan industrial ecosystem and backed by leading international financiers, underscoring OCP’s commitment to achieve carbon‑neutrality by 2040 and to secure 100 % renewable electricity for the Group by 2027.
