The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) is to invest $1.2bn in a 700 MW power plant expansion in Morocco.
TAQA plans to invest the $1.2bn to increase generating capacity at its Jorf Lasfar electricity plant in the city of Fez.
In Fez, TAQA’s subsidiary Jorf Lasfar Electric Company, or JLEC, will build, own and operate two new generating units of 350 MW each. JLEC will design and finance the power units and maintain them under a 30-year agreement once they come into operation in 2013, TAQA said.
JLEC owns the Jorf Lasfar electric plant, which currently has a capacity of 1320 MW.
