Moroccan industrial group YNNA has joined forces with AMEA Power, a subsidiary of UAE-based Al Nowais Investments, to launch a major wind energy project in southern Morocco. The two partners have formed a 50-50 joint venture to develop a 100-megawatt wind farm near Laayoune, marking a significant step in Morocco’s transition toward clean energy and reinforcing its goals for decarbonization and energy independence.
This future wind power facility is expected to supply renewable electricity to all of YNNA’s subsidiaries. But the project goes beyond just reducing the company’s carbon footprint. It’s also designed to deliver tangible environmental and socioeconomic benefits, both locally and nationally. Once operational, the wind farm is projected to cut over 330,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
Construction is slated to begin at the end of 2025, with the plant expected to go online in 2027.
YNNA CEO Mama Tajmouati described the initiative as a strategic pivot for the group, emphasizing a shift toward a low-carbon, competitive, and sovereign energy model. She framed the partnership as a commitment not just to YNNA’s future, but to Morocco’s broader industrial and environmental development.
For AMEA Power, Morocco is a key market. Chairman Hussain Al Nowais stressed the country’s growing importance in the company’s global strategy and reaffirmed its intention to continue investing in large-scale infrastructure that aligns with Morocco’s long-term energy vision.
