Energy and Environment Upgrading of the Industrial Park of Sidi Bernoussi Zenata, Casablanca

The project aims to achieve water and energy (electricity and fuel) savings in a industrial park in Casablanca by facilitating local ESCO businesses and strengthening the local executing agency, industry association (IZDIHAR) which operates the industrial park "Sidi Bernoussi" in Casablanca. IZDIHAR will receive technical assistance to improve its operation performance, to increase social and environmental services for the park and to take up energy and water saving promotion activities. Part of the energy and water savings achieved by the industries will be contributed to IZDIHAR for operation cost. Further, the project will support emerging ESCO business with TA and cost sharing for initial energy audits and feasibility studies. Access to existing financial sources (local and donor financed) will be improved through the project, IZDIHAR and the ESCOs.
