“We believe that it’s possible to export energy to Europe but, first, we have to build the interconnectors which don’t yet exist,” said Maha el-Kadiri, a Masen spokeswoman. In the meantime, Morocco is focused on using solar to meet its own needs. This could one day include the removal of salt from sea water, which is very useful in a country that is having more and more droughts as the climate warms. Officials are aware that their project is the most advanced renewable energy program in the Middle East and North African region. “We are at the avant-garde of solar,” el-Kadiri says.
According to Maha el-Kadiri, why does Morocco not export energy to Europe?
There are no available interconnectors to transport the energy It wants to use the solar energy only in in Morocco for the time being It prefers exporting to the Middle East and North Africa first Europe does not import energy from other continents
