Morocco Allocates 150,000 Hectares for UK-Bound Renewable Energy Project

According to the report on public land mobilized for investment in 2022, the allocated area corresponds to the project’s needs for the realization of a 3,800 km submarine power line that will connect the two countries.

Endowed with a budget of more than 200 billion dirhams, Xlinks will build a 10.5 gigawatt renewable energy complex in Morocco to produce electricity from wind and solar energy. It will be connected to a 5 GW/20 GWh storage unit in the country.
