PowerChina sees future in Morocco

Utility to complete world's biggest solar plant in North African country by 2018

Power Construction Corporation of China, one of the country's largest hydro and thermal power project providers in terms of both revenue and overseas market share, will complete the world's largest solar plant by energy output - the Noor complex solar plant - in Morocco by 2018, an executive said on Wednesday.

The State-owned enterprise signed an EPC contract for the phase II and phase III projects with the Moroccan government in 2015, as the country is rich in sunlight and is keen to become a major solar power user in the world.
