Morocco, Rabat: Morocco’s National Office of Electricity and Potable Water (ONEE) has officially launched two 400 kV transmission lines to connect the El Ouali substation in the Fez region to the future Midelt Solar Plant. This marks an important step in the country’s drive to strengthen its energy infrastructure and transition to renewable energy sources.
According to a statement by ONEE, the lines span a total length of 270 km. The investment into the project exceeds MAD 550 million ($54 million), signifying a positive stage ahead in Morocco’s growing focus on renewable energy integration and the development of a modern power grid.
The lines will transport energy from the Midelt Solar Plant, set to play a major role in expanding the share of clean energy in Morocco’s electricity mix. Beyond enabling renewable energy integration, the project also reinforces the high-voltage network to ensure reliable and sustainable power transmission.
The launch of these lines is a milestone for Morocco’s burgeoning energy sector and shows its commitment to a sustainable future. The country’s goal is to produce 52% of its energy through clean renewable sources by 2030.
