Tarfaya wind farm in 2019

Tarfaya Wind Farm is a wind farm in Morocco, located in 20 km from Tarfaya.[1] It was developed by Tarec (Tarfaya Energy Company), a 50/50 joint venture of Nareva Holding and International Power Ltd. Tarfaya Wind Farm is owned and operated by a 50:50 joint venture between the GDF SUEZ and Nareva Holding and it is Africa's 2nd largest capacity wind farm after Lake Turkana Wind Power Station,[2] with 131 wind turbines, each generating 2.3 Megawatts of power, and a total installed capacity of 301 MW.[3] It was on the list of ten “Most Outstanding African Projects in 2015”, a ranking by Jeune Afrique magazine. The park was commissioned in December 2014 after two years of work and investment of 5 billion dirhams. Its constructor and operator is Tarec, which sells the power generated to the National Electricity Office. [4]
