LONDON, United Kingdom, September 26, 2016/ -- MASEN has recently become responsible for the development of all renewable energy in Morocco, implementing its programmes following three visions: local development, industrial integration and international North-South-South cooperation with countries such as Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali, Chad, Benin, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania and Nigeria. Masen’s participation at the ARF will provide investors with insights into new energy strategies and the role Morocco will play in developing renewable energy access not only in Morocco, but across the region.

Taking place from 2-4 November in Marrakech, the Africa Renewable Energy Forum (http://APO.af/do7jy9) will provide a unique platform for networking and knowledge sharing which contributes to the Burkina Faso Government’s ambition of realising its solar energy potential, as well as to MASEN’S energy development goal of building partnerships with West-African neighbours.
