Eiffage Energie Systèmes, a subsidiary of the French group Eiffage, has been selected by the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) to build four photovoltaic plants in Morocco as part of the Noor Atlas program. The announcement was made on May 25, 2026, according to a press release from Eiffage.

The four solar plants will have a combined capacity of 84 megawatts peak (MWp). They are part of Morocco's broader strategy to increase renewable energy capacity, which aims to reach 52% of installed capacity by 2030. The Noor Atlas program specifically targets decentralized solar projects in rural areas.

The plants will be located in the regions of Tata, Figuig, and Midelt, with construction expected to begin in late 2026 and commissioning planned for 2028. The project is expected to create approximately 500 local jobs during the construction phase.

This contract marks Eiffage's first major solar project in Morocco, though the company has been active in the country's energy sector for over a decade. Masen, which oversees Morocco's renewable energy strategy, has already launched several phases of the Noor solar complex, including the Noor Ouarzazate concentrated solar power plant.
