Morocco Heads $27B Gas Initiative Across Africa
West African leaders have approved a project to build a gas pipeline connecting Nigeria and Morocco, approximately 6,000 kilometers long and passing through 13 countries along the Atlantic Coast, with an estimated cost of $27 billion. The project aims to link West Africa's gas resources to regional markets, strengthen African energy market integration, and create a developmental corridor connecting the region to Europe. Construction is expected to commence in 2028, with the first gas shipments delivered by 2031. This project is considered a key step toward enhancing regional reliance on gas resources, especially following Algeria's stoppage in 2022 of gas supplies to Spain via Morocco.
