Nestlé Maroc has firmly embraced the strategy set by the Swiss multinational, which consists of halving CO2 emissions by 2030 and achieving a net zero emissions target by 2050. An approach illustrated last February by the inauguration of the first private solar power station in the city of El Jadida, in the presence of the Minister of Energy, Mines and the Environment, Aziz Rebbah.
Installed on a 7,000 m2 site, the solar power station operates some 2,600 photovoltaic panels, produces 1.7 GWh of electricity per year, and eliminates the emission of more than one million kilograms of CO2 each year. Requiring an investment of around 12 million dirhams, the El Jadida solar power station is the 3rd solar power station installed in the MENA region by Nestlé, after the plants in Dubai and Jordan.
