The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa) is planning further expansion in North Africa, where it first established a presence in 2007 when it acquired the 1,350-mw Jorf Lasfar coal-fired independent power project (IPP) from CMS Energy of the US. Taqa’s managing director for North Africa and the Middle East, Majid Iraqui, told the UAE-based Khaleej Times, that the company is proposing to expand Jorf Lasfar, as well as bidding, in partnership with Spain’s Iberdrola, for a 300-mw wind farm IPP at Tarfaya, on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Taqa has also indicated that it has applied to prequalify for the 350-500-mw Bizerte combined cycle power station project in Tunisia, which will be carried out on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. The deadline for applications was the end of March (BME Mar 1st-15th 2009)
