Morocco has signed a MD8bn ($861m) investment agreement with GPM Holding to establish the country’s first polysilicon manufacturing plant in the southern province of Tan-Tan.
GPM Holding is a US-based company and a key partner in Green Power Morocco (GPM), which specialises in the installation and maintenance of photovoltaic solar panels.
GPM is a joint venture with UAE-based renewable energy company Amea Power.
The planned facility will be located in the El-Ouatia industrial zone, according to the North African country’s Ministry of Investment.
The facility will have an annual production capacity of 30,000 tonnes, with 85% earmarked for export.
The plant is expected to generate 1,500 direct and more than 2,000 indirect jobs and strengthen Morocco’s position in renewable energy supply chains, particularly in the manufacturing of solar panel components, according to the Ministry of Investment.
Last year, GPM completed a 34MW solar project in Hjar Nhal, south of Tangier, under a corporate power purchase agreement.
