The Tanger Med Floating Solar Park is a pioneering renewable energy project developed as part of Tanger Med’s decarbonization strategy and commitment to sustainable port operations. Commissioned on the retention reservoir of the port complex’s dam, the 13 MW floating photovoltaic installation combines clean electricity generation with water conservation, demonstrating how port infrastructure can support both environmental protection and operational resilience.
Developed on an 8-hectare water surface, the park comprises more than 22,000 photovoltaic panels anchored through an innovative engineering system designed to accommodate reservoir water-level fluctuations of up to 40 metres. The project generates approximately 20 GWh of renewable electricity annually, supplying part of the port complex’s energy needs while reducing dependence on conventional power sources.
Beyond renewable energy production, the floating solar installation delivers significant environmental benefits by avoiding around 14,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year and reducing water evaporation on the covered surface by up to 30%, helping preserve valuable freshwater resources in a water-stressed region.
Implemented in partnership with Morocco’s Ministry of Equipment and Water, the project serves as a replicable model for integrating renewable energy and water resource management. It reflects Tanger Med’s ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 while contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, notably SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
