Over the years, Morocco has become a reliable source for electricity for Gibraltor. To continue to tap Morocco for its electricity needs, Gibraltar is studying the possibility of building an undersea power link with Morocco.
Morocco has announced its vision of a clean energy plan aiming to secure 52% of its electricity needs from renewable sources by 2030. The north African country has been a major exporter of electricity to Spain since 2018. Both the countries agreed to boost the interconnection with a third link with a technical capacity of 700 MW that is expected to be commissioned before 2026.
Morocco’s electricity exports witnessed a significant surge after the Spanish government adopted an energy transition plan to end electricity generation from coal. As a result, several thermal power plants that produced energy using carbon were closed down.
