PROJECT UPDATE MOROCCO Magna, a mobility technology company, has expanded its footprint in Morocco by constructing a new facility in Kenitra to supply global automakers with exterior and interior mirror systems. Production of the new plant is set to begin in Spring 2020. “Expanding into Morocco is a strategic move for Magna, as our customers continue to grow in the region,” said John O’Hara, President Magna Mechatronics, Mirrors and Lighting. “We also value the high level of skilled employees and engineering talent in the region, and we look forward to building a strong and capable team.” MALAWI JCM is developing a solar photovoltaic (PV) project in the Golomoti district of the Republic of Malawi. JCM was successful in a tender process in Malawi and was awarded the right to develop two sites, one site near the Salima substation and a second near the Golomoti substation. JCM has negotiated a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi Limited (ESCOM). The PPA signing is subject to Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) approval once the tariff is settled between JCM and ESCOM. www.intelligentcio.com INTELLIGENTCIO 23
