project in construction

The project will involve the construction of a seawater desalination plant at Lamharza Essahel, about 40 km south of Casablanca, El Jadida province, Morocco. The plant has a capacity of 548,000 m3 per day (200 million m3 per year) with the possibility of expanding to 822,000 m3 per day of treated water (300 million m3 per year). The plant should provide desalination water for irrigation of a perimeter of 5,000 ha. The project involves offshore works for the intake and discharge of seawater, and its electricity supply is mainly from renewable energy sources. The project is part of Morocco’s Water National Plan 2020-2050, seeking to address the challenge of water scarcity in Morocco. According to the plans, the plant will be operational by the end of 2027.
