Metacon enters the Moroccan market through an entry-contract for a wind power-to-hydrogen pilot plant
STOCKHOLM, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In line with what was communicated in a press release on 19 March, 2025, Metacon has now been awarded a contract to supply a 1 MW pressurized alkaline electrolysis plant to a major renewable energy company in Morocco. The customer is one of the largest wind power investors in Africa with around 2,000 MW of renewable assets. The electrolysis plant will be built and delivered as a turn-key containerized system to the customer's site. Total contract value is EUR 1,820,600.
The purpose of this first pilot project is to serve as a platform for technical refinement of directly wind turbine-coupled pressurized alkaline electrolyzers to wind power. This, as a pre-step and preparation for upcoming industrial production plants for green hydrogen, e-fuels and green ammonia in Morocco.
The green hydrogen market in several North African countries is emerging and expected to grow substantially. With a significant and growing asset base in renewable electricity production. The customer has previously communicated a strategy to become a leading green hydrogen producer in Morocco and Northern Africa. A first step into hydrogen and realizing this strategy is now taken with a pilot plant for hydrogen production off-grid, linked to several connected wind turbines.
"I am very happy to announce that Metacon has won this contract with the regional energy leader in Morocco. This is hopefully the beginning of a long-term relation for realizing their ambitions for large-scale production of green hydrogen, e-fuels and green ammonia in Morocco and beyond", commented Christer Wikner, President & CEO, Metacon.
