Nexans Morocco's Role in the Noor Atlas Project
Nexans Morocco, in collaboration with its partners, has recently been awarded the Noor Atlas project, a transformative initiative aimed at supplying cables and power transformation solutions essential for the solar energy collection and transmission network in Morocco. Spearheaded by Masen, with participation from ONEE and Cluster ENR, this project signifies a pivotal advancement in the country's renewable energy landscape.
The Noor Atlas program encompasses the establishment of six photovoltaic power plants strategically located across Morocco, boasting a total installed capacity of around 305 MW. The commissioning of these plants is set to commence progressively starting in 2027, thereby enhancing renewable electricity generation, improving power supply across various regions, and aligning with Morocco's broader climate and energy objectives.
Building a Sustainable Future
Beyond merely serving the energy sector, the Noor Atlas initiative is intrinsically linked to Morocco's national energy transition strategy, addressing a critical challenge: the development of a robust and sustainable local industrial ecosystem surrounding large-scale infrastructure projects. In this regard, Nexans Morocco is committed to delivering locally designed and manufactured cables and power transformation solutions, which are vital for ensuring the performance, reliability, and efficiency of the electrical network.
This emphasis on a “Made in Morocco” approach not only allows Nexans to meet the stringent technical standards required for large-scale energy projects but also contributes significantly to the enhancement of the national industrial base, fostering long-term economic value. The energy transition can only realize sustainable benefits when built upon a solid, integrated local industrial foundation.
The Noor Atlas project exemplifies Morocco's ambition to synergize renewable energy development with industrial growth. It also highlights the collaborative efforts among public institutions, industrial stakeholders, and ecosystem partners, all working together to cultivate a competitive and resilient value chain for energy infrastructure.
With a long-standing presence in Morocco, Nexans is dedicated to supporting the transformation of the country's energy system by leveraging technological expertise, fostering innovation, and maintaining strong local ties. This project underscores the Group's belief that the energy transition extends beyond just renewable energy generation; it equally depends on the establishment of high-performance electrical infrastructure and a robust industrial ecosystem.
