Germany-Morocco $30B interconnection delays
The project to connect Morocco with Germany via an undersea transcontinental power cable, valued at $30 billion, is facing setbacks due to disagreements between the two sides. The goal of the project is to supply Germany with approximately 5% of its annual electricity demand derived from renewable energy sources in Morocco, through two cables spanning 4,800 kilometers with a combined capacity of 15 gigawatts of solar and wind energy. These disagreements require the government-to-government agreement between Morocco and Germany to be officially ratified, allowing the transmission of electricity in both directions, which the Moroccan government considers essential to ensure long-term support for the project. The initiative is part of Germany’s efforts to transition to sustainable energy and reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels, with a goal to import up to 70% of its hydrogen needs by 2045.
