Parc Eolien Tarfaya is a 301 MW wind power station in Tanger-Tetouan, Morocco. It is operated by Nareva Holding/Engie. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 256,142 homes (estimated). It ranks #7 of 45 Morocco power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2014, it is around 12 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-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 35.6°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 67% 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: 24/100 — 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.
