  • Financing KfW Entwicklungsbank
  • Reference Number BMZ201768555/KfW504783; ONEE-BE PQ : N° SP4107241; ONEE/BE N° SP97411P4
  • Subject Pumped Energy transfer station - STEP El Menzel

Brief description of the Contract:

In addition to the services rendered to the electrical network (improvement of the operating conditions of the production units), the stations will have a new use in the context of the energy transition. They present an ideal solution to the intermittency of renewable energies (notably wind and solar) and could even play a role in the valorization of these energies (storage of electricity during the high production phases of renewable energies). ONEE / BE has decided, taking into account the above mentioned, to reinforce its fleet with the Pumped Energy Transfer Station El Menzel which will constitute, a priori, the third structure of this kind, to be integrated in the Moroccan electricity network.
