Fig 3.2From 2011 to 2020 the installation of additional 520 MW is planned , for a total of 2,290 MW (and 4,650GWh/yr)3.5 Wind GenerationMorocco has an excellent wind potential mainly in the North and in the South and many locations, generallyon the coast, have favorable conditions for the installation of Wind Power Plant. Existing Wind farm (seeTable 3.4) confirm high values of load factor. In 2010 an installed capacity of 231 MW produced 659 GWh,equivalent to 2,853 hours/yr of operation at full capacity.and a total installed capacity of 2000 MW is plannedat year 2020 , with energy production of 6,000 GWh (3,000 hrs/yr).4 Table 3.4 existing wind farmsInstalledCapacityAnnualProductionAnnual Hoursof Utilizationdate ofcommissioningMW GWh/yr Hours/yr yearPark Abdelkhalak Torres(40 km east of Tangier ) 50,4 226 4484 Aug.2000Experimental Park: 3,5 14,5 4143 Oct 2000Park Essaouira (15 kM south of Essaouira) 60 200 3333 2007Park Tanger 140Park Lafarge (10 MW in 2006 and 22MW in 2011) 32 2006/2011The analysis of the Cronological hourly production in 2010 (see Annex) of the wind farms ONE and CEDevidences a rather regular trend of the monthly energy productions (fig 3.4a) and during the time of day(fig3.4b).Fig 3.4 Morocco 2010 :a-Monthly Wind Generation (in p.u. of yearly production) .b-hourly generation in Januaryand June (average hourly value of the 31 days of the month, in p.u of installed capacity)0.120.10.080.060.040.020.500.400.300.200.10january(avrg)July(avrg.)0J…F…M…A…M…J…J…A…S…O…N…D…0.001 4 7 10 13 16 19 226
