The objective of the project is to support the low-carbon integration of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System under implementation by the City of Marrakech through the installation of 1 MW solar farm based on High Concentration PhotoVoltaics (HCPV) technology. The energy produced by the farm will help power electric buses to showcase an integrated low-carbon transport system that can be replicated in other cities in Morocco.

An integrated approached is sought throughout the project duration combining various types of activities, such as capacity building, awareness and improvement of governance. Important sustainable development changes are expected not only at the level of the urban transport sector but also in other aspects such as improvement of air quality, energy efficiency, enhancing social inclusion in the suburbs, improving the quality of life, guaranteeing security, creating job opportunities, improving touristic attractiveness of the City, etc.
