Reasons for Morocco's lower gas imports from Spain
Official and technical sources confirmed that the decline in Morocco's natural gas imports via Spain is due to a decrease in electricity demand after the peak of summer, and is not related to political tensions or a migration crisis. After electricity demand reached a record high in July with around 8,400 MW, it decreased to approximately 7,400 MW by the end of August, leading to reduced operation of gas-fired power plants, especially at Teddart and Ain Beni Mathar stations. It is worth noting that the imported gas, which is purchased from the international market and processed in Spain before being injected into the grid, accounts for less than 10% of the national electricity mix. The government prefers to utilize renewable energy sources and coal for power generation, resorting to gas only when necessary. Additionally, the Spanish government denied reports linking the decline to the migration crisis or emergency plans, confirming that it is related to a technical and economic change in energy consumption.
