Metacon is building a 1 MW pressurised alkaline electrolysis system for one of Africa’s largest wind power investors, its first project in North Africa. The turn-key, containerised plant couples directly to wind turbines in a grid-connected setup with simulated off-grid operation, giving the customer a technical platform to validate wind-to-hydrogen ahead of industrial-scale green hydrogen, e-fuel and ammonia production.
The customer, a major renewables investor with roughly 2,000 MW of assets in Africa, is using the pilot to test direct coupling of pressurised alkaline electrolysis with wind power. Morocco offers strong wind and solar resources, proximity to European markets, and an EU green partnership, positioning it as a regional green hydrogen hub.
Metacon delivers the complete plant as a turn-key system, covering design, supply and delivery, while the customer handles on-site installation.
