Morocco-Germany power link faces hurdles
The electric interconnection project between Morocco and Germany, known as "Cila Atlantic," is currently facing obstacles despite its significant investment value estimated at $30 billion. It aims to establish two high-voltage maritime transmission lines stretching approximately 4,800 kilometers to connect Morocco's solar and wind power plants to the German grid, in order to supply about 5% of Germany’s annual demand for clean electricity. The main issues have centered around the Moroccan authorities' request to include a government guarantee agreement to ensure the political and institutional continuity of the project, as well as the matter of land allocation for the facilities. A decision has not yet been made regarding the allocation of 150,000 hectares in the Guelmim Oued Noun region, which was previously designated for other projects. Despite these challenges, the developer firm affirms that the project is progressing according to its technical and organizational plans, with ongoing studies of technical options to ensure its sustainability. However, its success depends on a political and organizational consensus that safeguards the interests of all parties involved.
