Parc Eolien Akhfenir is a 202 MW wind power station in Laayoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra, Morocco. It is operated by Nareva Holding. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 171,981 homes (estimated). It ranks #12 of 45 Morocco power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2016, it is around 10 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 16.0% of Morocco's electricity; the national grid averages 596 gCO₂/kWh (24.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 28.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 93% 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: 16/100 — 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.
