WindMarrakech-Tensift-Al HaouzMorocco

Parc Eolien AMOUGDOUL is a 60 MW wind power plant in Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, Morocco. It is operated by Office National de l\'Electricite (ONE). Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 51,398 homes (estimated). It ranks #27 of 45 Morocco power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2007, it is around 19 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).

Local climate & thermal context

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a cold semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 31.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 80% 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: 20/100 — 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.
