“We believe that it’s possible to export energy to Europe but, first, we would have to build the interconnectors which don’t yet exist,” said Maha el-Kadiri, a Masen spokeswoman. “Specifically, we would have to build interconnections, which would not go through the existing one in Spain, and, then, start exporting.” Spain has itself prohibited new solar projects because of a lack of interconnectors to transmit the energy to France. In the meantime, Morocco is focused on using solar to meet its own needs for resource independence. This could, one day, include the removal of salt from sea water, in a country that is increasingly being hit by drought as the climate warms. Officials are keenly aware of the running they are making in what 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.
