Title: technical Assistance For Offshore Wind Feasibility Study description: recent Studies Have Shown That Morocco Has A High Potential To Exploit Offshore Wind, Particularly Along Its Atlantic Coast Where Wind Speed Is High And Waters Are Shallow, Making Them Suitable For Fixed-bottom Offshore Wind. The Moroccan Agency For Sustainable Energy (masen) Has Been Commissioned To Put In Place An Integrated And Wide-ranging Programme For The Production Of Electricity From Renewable Energy By Means Of A Minimum Installed Capacity Of 6,000 Mw By 2030. Within This Framework, Masen Has Committed To Pushing Forward The Development Of An Offshore Wind Industry And Build Upon The Competencies Gained Industry-wide In Other Locations. A First Pilot Offshore Wind Farm (owf) Is Currently Being Planned Off The Coast Of Essaouira (the “project”). The Objectives Of The Ta Operation Is To Support Masen In Carrying Out The Various Studies Required To Assess The Feasibility Of This Project, And To Ultimately Guide The Decision-making Process (including Mapping Out Mitigants To Potential Issues) Before More Advanced Studies Are Performed, And Construction Can Begin.
