ACWA Power confirms its lasting commitment to Morocco and supports the Second Edition of Photovoltaica, Africa’s largest international trade fair for solar PV

Rabat, Morocco, 06 September, 2016: As part of its investment in Morocco as a developer, investor, owner and operator of solar power plants Noor I, Noor II and Noor III, ACWA Power confirms once more its commitment to the Moroccan solar plan by supporting the 2nd edition of Photovoltaica, the largest international exhibition in Africa dedicated to the development of solar energy.

To be convened at Casablanca from 7 to 9 September 2016 under the patronage of the Moroccan Ministry of Energy and Mines, Water and the Environment, Photovoltaica provides a platform for policy makers, technology providers, developers, contractors and operators to share knowledge, keep up to date with the extraordinarily rapid advances in this sector and network with leaders in the solar energy sector.

Following on from Photovoltaica, the world’s focus on renewable energy will once again be directed towards Morocco in November when Marrakesh hosts the twenty-second session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 22) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Given its prominent role in Morocco’s renewable energy focus, ACWA Power is also proud and privileged to play a leading role to support Morocco at COP22 which will serve the critical role of catalyzing the momentum built with the consensus achieved at COP 21 in Paris last year when the historic agreement was reached amongst 200 nations.
