Morocco and Portugal have announced the revival of the direct interconnection project between their electricity networks, aimed at enhancing their capacity to secure and protect energy sources and expanding their mutual exchange capabilities within the European electricity grid. The project, which was suspended since 2022 and has now been resumed, aims to accommodate a capacity of up to 1,000 megawatts. Its funding will come from the European Union and the private sector, with updated financial and technical studies due to rising costs. The bidirectional line will enable the import of electricity from the Iberian market during periods of high demand or decreased local production, as well as the export of surplus power in the future with the expansion of renewable energies. It serves as an alternative to the current reliance on Spain as the main route for transmitting electricity to Europe. Additionally, the line will help reduce Morocco’s dependence on Spain, providing a direct electrical pathway that enhances the flexibility of the Rabat grid. This move is seen as a strategic step to strengthen energy integration between Morocco and Europe and to solidify the country's position as a vital bridge between Africa and Europe.
