Launch of Socio-Economic Projects in Oussarg
On Monday, the works of several socio-economic projects were inaugurated in the Oussarg center, aimed at enhancing the developmental momentum in the Oussarg region and the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab area as a whole.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Green March, the regional governor, Mohamed Rushdi, accompanied by various elected officials and civil and military figures, launched the project to hybridize the thermal station in Oussarg by establishing a photovoltaic solar station with an advanced battery storage system, at a total cost of 56.4 million dirhams.
The National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water is responsible for implementing the project, which is expected to be completed by December 2026. This initiative aims to contribute to the social and economic development of the Oussarg area by enhancing the region’s attractiveness, supporting economic activities, and creating local job opportunities.
The governor also kicked off the construction of five sports fields in Oussarg, with a budget of approximately 914,000 dirhams, and similar projects in Tchilla (903,000 dirhams), Bir Kndouz (804,000 dirhams), Lmihiriz (803,000 dirhams), and Karkarat (855,000 dirhams).
The goal of these projects is to encourage the local population, especially the youth, to engage in sports, improve their physical and mental health, provide spaces for social interaction, discover sports talents, and enhance the livability and vibrancy of the neighborhoods.
Mr. Rushdi and his accompanying delegation also visited the water supply project for the Oussarg center, for which a budget of approximately 4 million dirhams has been allocated. This project aims to ensure the provision of potable water to the Oussarg center, improve the quality of basic services, and enhance the water infrastructure in the area.
On the same occasion, the governor inspected the project for establishing mobile desalination and water purification stations, which includes the construction of raw water and treated water pipelines, equipping boreholes, and supplying energy through a diesel generator.
The mobile desalination and water purification stations are distributed among Oussarg, where the project costs 17.2 million dirhams, Lmihiriz (8.5 million dirhams), and Bir Kndouz (8.5 million dirhams). These stations are expected to produce approximately 3 liters per second.
