OilGrand CasablancaMorocco

Centrale Turbine a' Gaz de Tit-Me (Casablanca) is a 198 MW oil power station in Grand Casablanca, Morocco. It is operated by Office National de l’Electricité (ONE). Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 148,669 homes (estimated). It ranks #14 of 45 Morocco power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1994, it is around 32 years old — long-established. In context, oil supplies about 3.6% of Morocco's electricity; the national grid averages 596 gCO₂/kWh (24.0% low-carbon) (2025).

~390,258 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

90,969passenger cars driven for a year
50,894homes' yearly energy use
6,504,300tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 30% load factor × a typical oil emission factor (~750 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

Local climate & thermal context

This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 33.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 66% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 25/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
