This megaproject should make it possible to strengthen and secure the drinking water supply to part of the Casablanca-Settat region. It must also supply desalinated water on behalf of another operator to serve the irrigation needs of a 5,000 ha area.
Currently having 9 seawater desalination stations operational or under construction, Morocco will launch, in 2023, work on three new infrastructures on the Atlantic coast. According to recent statements from Nizar Baraka, Casablanca, El Jadida and Safi will soon have their stations. The goal is to achieve production of one billion cubic meters by 2030.

The ground-breaking ceremony for the Casablanca-Settat seawater desalination plant, the largest of its kind in Morocco, took place early on January 23, 2024. The plant, which will supply 300 million m3 of water per year by 2030, is being built by Spainâs Acciona Group, in consortium with Moroccan companies Afriquia Gaz and Green of Africa, both subsidiaries of the Awca Group.

Morocco already has 11 desalination stations but intends to âtriple its capacities by 2030â, says MĂ©dias 24 , by adding 9 new stations to the 11 existing and 7 currently under construction. With this comprehensive project of stations capable of producing nearly 1.3 billion cubic meters of drinking and irrigation water per year, the kingdom intends to develop a local industry. The government predicts that, ultimately, around 50% of drinking water will come from the desalination of sea water, notes Le360 .
