Morocco awards Nareva 200 MW wind farm deal

* UK's International Power to partner on deal

* No financial details released

* To cost around $313 mln - industry sources

* Govt targets 2,000 MW wind power by 2020

RABAT, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Moroccan power utility ONE said Nareva, the energy arm of the country's biggest conglomerate, ONA ONA.CS, would lead construction of a 200 megawatts (MW) wind farm, part of Rabat's plan to reduce reliance on imported fuel.

Nareva, in partnership with International Power (IPR.L), beat 15 other bidders including GDF Suez (GSZ.PA), added the Office National d'Electricity (ONE), which had launched the tender for the wind project in 2007.

Under the deal, the wind farm will go on stream later next year outside the southern town of Tarfaya.

ONE and Nareva gave no financial details about the deal, but industry sources said the wind farm would cost around 2.7 billion dirhams ($313.3 million).

Morocco has a plan involving the building of five wind farms to increase the North African state's wind generation capacity to 2,000 MW by 2020, from the approximate 280 MW it currently produces from small wind farms.

Funding of the wind farm project, worth a combined 31.5 billion dirhams, would come from a mix of state and private capital, including foreign investors, the government says.

Morocco is the only North African country with no oil of its own. It seeks to cut its dependency on imported oil and coal by expanding power generation capacity from renewable sources.

Last year, it launched a solar energy project worth $9 billion, which will account for 38 percent of the North African country's installed power generation by 2020.

The solar scheme involves five solar power generation stations across Morocco and will produce 2,000 megawatts of electricity by 2020. ($1=8.618 Moroccan Dirham) (Reporting by Lamine Ghanmi; editing by Simon Jessop)
