Morocco as Regional Energy Platform
Since 1997 Morocco is connected
to Spain via the strait of Gibraltar
2 lines 400 KV of 26 km long
Transit capacity : 1400 MW
Project of 3rd line 400 KV
The network with Algeria is
operating since 1988
Oujda-Ghazaouet : 46 km long - capacity of
200 MW
Oujda-Tlemcen : 67 Km long -capacity of
3rd connection of 400 KV is in process
bringing the total transfer capacity to 1200 MW 4

in Morocco
The implementation of all projects will be done through…
Partnerships with national and international operators
Choice of developers based on competition and with open technologies options (PV, CSP, ...etc)
Diversified funding mechanisms

9. The Moroccan energy mix by 2020
The part of installed capacity
of renewable energy will
represent 42% of total electric
installed capacity by 2020

DESERTEC
Morocco strategic location, huge solar potential and Concrete National Energy Strategy
Nareva Holding, joined the Desertec Industrial Initiative DII in march 2010
Driss Benhima, CEO of Royal Air Maroc, is a member of the International Advisory Board of DII that will support it in the implementation of the ‘Desertec’ initiative
First Solar pilot project in Morocco of 500 MW is announced
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND REPORTING OF MOROCCO BEING HOSTING THE FIRST SITE
WE HAVE SOLAR RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE,
The Desertec Industrial Initiative, which aims to produce solar-electricity for Europe in northern Africa, plans to build a pilot-project in Morocco, Handelsblatt reported, citing Paul van Son, who heads the initiative.
The project will examine various power generation systems including solar thermal and photovoltaic plants as well as wind turbines and could generate 500 to 1,000 megawatts, the newspaper reported.
