Morocco’s Renewable Energy Ambition: Goldwind Secures €190 Million Wind Turbine Deal

Chinese renewable energy giant Goldwind Technology has signed a major contract worth over €190 million to supply and install wind turbines in Morocco, reinforcing the country’s position as a leader in Africa’s clean energy transition. The agreement was finalized on September 16 with Énergie Éolienne du Maroc (EEM), now majority-owned by the UAE’s AMEA Power.

Details of the Goldwind–EEM Agreement

The deal mobilizes two key subsidiaries of Goldwind:

• Goldwind International Holdings (Hong Kong): Responsible for the manufacturing, assembly, and shipping of wind turbines from China.

• Goldwind Morocco (SARL): In charge of local operations, including port reception, inland transport, turbine installation, commissioning, and maintenance.

This dual structure ensures smooth technical and logistical coordination between production and on-the-ground execution in Morocco.

Financial Breakdown

The total value of the contract amounts to $29.6 million (€191.8 million, MAD 2.1 billion):

• $25.4 million allocated to Goldwind International for production and maritime transport.

• $4.1 million assigned to Goldwind Morocco for local implementation.

To guarantee performance, a contractual guarantee agreement has been signed with EEM, covering all obligations until full completion.

Morocco’s Renewable Energy Ambitions

This partnership aligns with Morocco’s ambitious strategy to raise the share of renewables to more than 50% of its national energy mix by 2030. With multiple solar and wind projects underway, the country is reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels while building a reputation as a regional hub for clean energy investment.

The entry of Goldwind Technology and AMEA Power demonstrates international confidence in Morocco’s renewable energy market, considered one of the most dynamic in Africa. Beyond boosting capacity, the project will also contribute to lowering CO₂ emissions and strengthening cooperation between North Africa and Europe on climate and energy security.
