Morocco moves towards Portugal to cut dependence
Morocco is seeking to revive the electricity interconnection project with Portugal to provide an additional energy exchange route with Europe, as part of efforts to reduce reliance on Spain in the electricity exchange sector. The project commenced in June 2023, and aims to establish a direct submarine cable or a tripartite arrangement linking Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, with European funding or private investment expected. The project will have a significant impact on the energy market, allowing Morocco to export its surplus solar and wind energy production and import electricity when needed, while reducing Portugal’s dependence on Spain following the power outage crisis in 2025. As of now, the start date for construction has not been determined, with the project awaiting approval by European institutions and discussion at an upcoming summit in 2027.
