SGTM contributed to the construction of the Boujdour Wind Farm, with an installed capacity of 300 MW, located 7 km northeast of the city of Boujdour (Sahara). This project is part of Morocco’s 850 MW Integrated Wind Program. SGTM carried out the civil engineering and infrastructure works, including the construction of approximately 80 km of internal roads for the transportation of components, earthworks, and the building of massive foundations (about 500 m³ of concrete each) for the 87 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines rated at 3.465 MW each.
The desert terrain, with loose soil in certain areas, required reinforced foundations (20 m diameter circular slabs anchored to a depth of about 3 m). SGTM also built the 33/225 kV step-up substation and the crane assembly platforms. The logistical challenge was considerable: coordinating the transport of 70 m-long components (blades) from the Port of Dakhla over more than 250 km.
Despite harsh climatic conditions (constant strong winds and high temperatures), the project was completed on schedule for progressive commissioning in 2022. With an investment of around MAD 3.9 billion, the Boujdour Wind Farm will produce over 1,590 GWh per year—equivalent to the annual consumption of one million households—contributing to Morocco’s target of achieving 52% renewable energy by 2030.
