In the north
Africa, Morocco should host the highest wind tower at a height of 144
meters.

The tower will be built by the Spanish group
Nabrawind Technologies and will produce 3.6 MW of wind energy.

The tower will use the self-badembly system (SES), which allows the installation of a complete WTG system (tower, nacelle, rotor) without using large cranes, regardless of the final height of the hub.

lowest sections of the tower to the last part of the badembly process. For
To this end, the SES is able to hoist the WTG in intermediate steps and
install tower sections underneath.

The construction of the tower will require 80 m3 of concrete and 10 tonnes of steel, compared to 500 m3 of concrete and 60 tonnes of steel used in "attractive" designs.

Work will begin in the third quarter, with the remainder of the installation taking place "at the end of this year and beginning of 2020.
