The Moroccan company Gaia Energy and its Israeli counterpart Gandyr, two companies specializing in renewable energies, signed on Thursday in Casablanca a cooperation agreement.

This is a strategic partnership for an investment of 13 billion DH, spread over the next two years in the green economy.

Specifically, this amount will be used to carry out four projects, including self-production, agrivoltaics, green hydrogen, as well as the export of green electricity and private green energy production projects under law 13-09, it is specified.

To recall, the Israeli group Gandyr has already invested several billion dollars in various promising sectors, with the important reference being the sale of Mobileye to Intel for $15 billion.
