The Moroccan refinery "Samir" company and the French CEGELEC Group signed, on Wednesday in Skhirat, 20 km south of Rabat, a contract on the building of an electric plant at the Mohammedia-based refinery.

The 17.8 million Euros contract will help enhance the power supply to the Samir refinery and provide energy to the future expansion of the refinery, a Samir communiqué said.
