Safi Power Plant
The 2×693 MW Safi coal-fired power plant is located close to the city of Safi in Morocco. With a capacity of 1,386 MW, this plant is the largest in Morocco.
Safi is the first coal-fired power plant in Africa to use ultra-supercritical technology. The aim is to significantly reduce CO2 and to lower fuel costs by raising efficiency by 10 percent compared to conventional coal-fired plants. The project is part of Morocco’s national strategic plan to cover rising electricity demand at low cost, whilst protecting the environment.
Work began in 2015, and is being carried out by our customer Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co. (South Korea). Operation and maintenance will be provided by Safi Energy Company. The total investment value is USD 2.6 billion. By the time of delivery of the project in 2017, HeidelbergCement’s subsidiary Ciments du Maroc estimates that it will have delivered 220,000 tonnes of marine and high-performance cement.
