The water is expected to be used for consumption for more than 70,000 inhabitants as well as for irrigating large areas of agricultural fields in the Chtouka region. The Chtouka region is an important driver for the Moroccan economy and employs about 100,000 people in the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n<p>Harsh climatic conditions, global warming and cycles of drought over the last ten years in Morocco have been a major cause for concern. Especially since the country\u2019s population is expected to reach 38 million in 2030. Desalination of seawater appears to be one of Morocco\u2019s strategies to meet chronic water shortages. Tesar is a main actor to support this technology.<\/p>\n<p>Some specifications for the project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A total of 18 cast resin transformers<\/li>\n<li>Power ratings between 630 kVA and 3150 kVA<\/li>\n<li>Copper windings<\/li>\n<li>IP31 with forced cooling<\/li>\n<li>Delivered in January 2020<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tesar already successfully collaborated with Abengoa for the realization of the desalination plant in Chennai, India.
