BUTEC has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a Waste-to-Energy (WtE) project in Casablanca by a consortium comprising Nareva, Kanadevia Inova and Itochu. The consortium is delivering the project under a 33.5-year concession agreement with the Municipality of Casablanca.
Located northwest of the Mediouna landfill in Morocco’s Casablanca-Settat region, the incineration plant aims to process approximately 1.5m tonnes of non-recyclable waste annually. The project aims to significantly reduce the region’s dependence on landfills, while recovering energy from waste. BUTEC is said to be partnering with Switzerland-based Kanadevia Inova, a global specialist in WtE and renewable gas technologies, to deliver the facility.
According to a statement, the facility is expected to generate 126MWe of baseload electricity and prevent up to 1t of CO2-equivalent emissions for every tonne of waste processed. The project will serve more than 4.2m people across Greater Casablanca, supporting Morocco’s wider energy transition and long-term decarbonisation objectives.
As per the EPC arrangement, Kanadevia Inova will provide the project’s WtE technology and process systems, alongside operations support, long-term maintenance and financing.
BUTEC will undertake civil works across the entire facility and lead the engineering, procurement and construction of non-process buildings, facilities and associated infrastructure. The company’s scope includes civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works, as well as external infrastructure.
“Building on our affiliates’ long-standing presence in Morocco, where BUTEC has established itself as one of the country’s leading players in Electromechanical Solutions, the Group is reinforcing, through this landmark contract, its contribution to the Kingdom’s sustainable development ambitions,” commented Raymond Daou, SVP Strategy & Business Development at BUTEC.
Daou continued, “In addition, with 3-consecutive large-scale Waste-to-Energy projects across the geographies in which it operates, BUTEC is establishing itself as the generalist EPC contractor of choice in this strategic sector. This latest award confirms once again our ability to combine multidisciplinary engineering expertise, strong local execution capabilities and close cooperation with world-leading process technology partners to deliver complex energy and environmental facilities.”
The project is said to be a major step toward a more sustainable and circular waste-management model for Casablanca and Morocco.
