The Tarfaya Wind Farm is located on the South Atlantic coast of Morocco. It was built at a cost of $490 million by joint venture partnership between GDF SUEZ and Nareva Holding. Construction started in 2013, and the earliest phases of the project were commissioned in 2014.
Spread over almost 9,000 hectares of land, the Tarfaya wind farm consists of 131 wind turbines, each with a capacity to produce 2.3 MW of electricity with a combined output of 301MW. At optimum capacity, it is expected to provide power for 1.5 million households.
