Morocco as Regional Energy Platform

Since 1997 Morocco is connected to Spain via the strait of Gibraltar

2 lines 400 KV of 26 km longTransit capacity : 1400 MWProject of 3rd line 400 KV

The network with Algeria is operating since 1988

Oujda-Ghazaouet : 46 km long - capacity of 200 MWOujda-Tlemcen : 67 Km long -capacity of200 MW3rd connection of 400 KV is in process bringing the total transfer capacity to 1200 MW
