"By January 2027, we plan to have already divested from all our coal assets," Loic Jaegert-Huber told Reuters on the sidelines of a Moroccan-French business forum in Rabat.

"We are committed to divest from SAFIEC," where Engie has a 33% stake, he said.

The company has received expressions of interests from potential buyers, he said, without elaborating.

Engie's partners are considering green ammonia as an option to decarbonise the 1,386 MW plant, he said.

Engie also operates a 300MW wind park in Tarfaya, Morocco's largest, and is building a desalination plant and a wind farm to power it in Western Sahara's Dakhla, in partnership Moroccan private energy company Nareva.
