2.1.1
Environmental impact study
Environmental impact assessments ensure that the environmental implications of projects are
analyzed and understood before construction. These assessments provide project developers
assurance that their projects are compliant with a variety of regulatory requirements including
Directive 2011/92/EU (known as 'Environmental Impact Assessment' – EIA Directive) and
Directive 2001/42/EC (known as 'Strategic Environmental Assessment' – SEA Directive).
Environmental assessments offer guidance during the licensing and permitting phase of
projects and ensure that the installation, operation, and decommissioning of assets don’t have
significant effects on the environment.
WATTSC has relevant experience working as advisors and project managers for our clients
involved in industries across different sectors.
Our environmental consultants give practical and effective advice, impact assessments, and
reports on key environmental issues from license application, planning, and development

Solar Energy
Photovoltaic power plant feasibility study
A feasibility study determines whether a PV power plant can be profitably operated at a given
location. An analysis of the local conditions (solar radiation, site analysis and environmental
factors) and the technical design of the PV plant are used to compile the study.
We investigate the technical and economic
boundary conditions. The factors included
are marketability, investment suitability
and the insurability of the PV power plant.

2.2.4
Power Plants Operation and Maintenance
Operation & Maintenance (O&M) is one of the most critical factors that drive a power plant
to realize projected revenues. Our goal is to optimize our customers' power plants to produce
the maximum amount of energy, and therefore revenue under their power purchase
agreement, throughout its operational life.
High reliability, operational predictability, and uninterrupted performance of all equipment,
installed on a station, are subjects of high importance because any incidental breakdown can
cause significant financial losses.
Whether you are a utility or an independent renewable energy producer, we can work with
you to develop a package of operational services to suit your needs:

Development of operational schedule of a station’s maintenance service.
Diagnostic testing of all equipment, installed on a station, as well as of its separate
components (solar modules, inverters, power converter, and so on)
Regular maintenance checks and periodic technical servicing according to equipment
specifications.
Status monitoring and durability checking for metal framework elements.
Analysis and fastest possible detection of probable causes for performance degradation.
Supply of components and spare parts, required for complete and maximally fast recovery of
a station’s operational readiness.
Mobile service team for emergency and restoration works.
Full range of installation, start-up and commissioning works.
2.2.4.2 High Voltage Systems Management
We advise on the services that will help you to achieve your goals, whether they are to reduce
operational costs, improve reliability or increase generation.
Putting in place an operations and maintenance contract for your photovoltaic power plant
enables you to improve the performance and profitability of your installation.
Better availability of your photovoltaic power plant, which optimizes its return or yield rate
and its level of production: your power plant produces more sustainably.
The Electrical Network is a critical element of any renewable energy project. It must be subject
to a suitable program of inspection and maintenance to ensure safe and reliable operation,
compliance with the requirements of the Electricity and the Electricity Safety, Quality and
Continuity Regulations.
We can ensure the highest standards of safety and compliance for your asset, especially with
ONEE standards and practices in Morocco.

2.3.4
Energy efficiency audits and clean tech
Energy audits are a powerful way to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of a home,
business, or industrial plant.
Energy audits help to identify and prioritize specific areas for efficiency improvement. In the
residential and commercial sectors, energy audits target the building as a whole and are
therefore an avenue for maximizing energy savings in existing buildings. In the industrial
sector, audits are often comprehensive but may focus on specific energy-intensive processes.
These energy savings, reduced utility bills, and investments in our housing and building stock
help to address climate change concerns, economic pressures, and employment issues.
In energy audits, we can provide companies, with valuable assistance. We ensure that
methods and results comply with current requirements and regulations. We collate
information, analyze measuring and statistics and identify any technical or organizational
problems. We can also suggest appropriate improvement measures and help implement
them. The purpose is to improve energy consumption, while also reducing operating costs and
environmental impact.
